Negative Positive
Title: Overpriced and undersubstantiated
Review: Mr. Haugh's "definitive" work leaves a lot to be desired as far as substantiation is concerned. He makes constant claims about dollar volumes of fraud loss with no backup. We are supposed to believe him and take it at face value. Examples:p. 243 "We believe that institutional fraud is now running at over $250 milion per year, with 75% originating in prisons".Other than his "belief" there is absolutely no substantiation of that claim. Or:p. 111 "...a very high percentage -- we believe around 60% -- of CPE owners do not even realize that they have remote access to their equipment"Granted, this book is outdated, but that does not give the author license to make statements like that without any substantiation at all.For the price ..., I would expect exhaustive original research, not opinions, claims, and in some cases, factual errors.
Is the review positive or negative?
