Reading this book in 2018 made me question some of the science. Since the book's publications the science has been able to update and revise some of the theories presented in this book. Case in point, broken windows theory. Since it's first inception, it has been found to be not as effective as people originally thought.

However, what I liked about this book is that it encourages readers to look at the situation from the perspective of epidemiologist and sociologist. The author presents his information in an engaging story-telling format, which makes for a great read or listen.
