Customer Reviews

An excellent book for those concerned about victims & crime

The Williamson County DA, Ken Anderson, has written a book for the layman that helps us understand the complex crime situation and what we can do about it. Living on the border between Williamson and Travis counties this books validates the feelings my wife and I had as to why we moved out of Travis County and the City of Austin. On a more statewide basis he address the media's role in crime, and the legislature's intended amd unintended reprocussions. Also, Ken Anderson highlights criminals like Kenneth McDuff and the other monsters walking in our midst as a result of poor laws. Anderson highlights recent changes to the laws and tells us how we, the people and potential vicitims, can help induce change and keep McDuff in prision until he serves his time in Hell. Written in terms that you and I can understand, he shoots from the hip, but thinks before he does it.

A clear understanding of the Texas Legal System

Ken Anderson is known by Texas Adult Probation Officers for his clear explanations of Texas Law in his seminars on criminal justice and his written clarifications of THE CODE OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE. CRIME IN TEXAS is a detailed,specific and clear presentation of Texas Law and the current criminal justice procedure. It would make an excellent reference guide to any criminal justice class.
