Beskrivning

Rather than simply giving students an overview of the elements of the criminal justice system--police, courts, and corrections--Foundations of Criminal Justice delves into the interdisciplinary ideas underlying those elements. With a new chapter on "Issues of Inequaility in the Criminal Justice System," this edition delves even deeper into the larger questions and themes that govern our criminal justice system: Why is our justice system the way it is? How do we decide which actions are crimes? How is policy made? What is justice and is it achieved?The text features a robust pedagological apparatus to guide students in their learning: focusing and review questions appear throughout the text to focus student learning and solidify key concepts; chapter-ending Criminal Justice questions ask students to think critically and apply what they have learned to a real-life issue; and photo essays, which survey the broad range of issues in the chapters to come, open each Part.

Recensioner i media

This text is unlike any other introductory text. It focuses on the foundational principles, ideologies, and philosophies that students should be considering when discussing criminal justice issues. This text is excellent, and I have used it since the 1st edition came out. The text length and affordability, the focus on foundational ideologies such as idealism and pragmatism, and the brief and yet thorough foundation for police, courts and corrections in the last 3 chapters of the book are overall strengths." - Martha Earwood M.S.C.J, University of Alabama at Birmingham
