Courts: A Text/Reader, Third Edition, helps you understand the U.S.
court system in context, with each brief authored section of the
text enhanced by edited research articles that illustrate the
questions and controversies in the judicial system today. The
articles reflect both classic studies of the criminal court system
and state-of-the-art research, and they often have a policy
perspective that demonstrates the potential impact research can
have on the court system. Designed to enhance understanding, the
book includes a helpful "How to Read a Research Article" section
before the first reading, as well as article introductions and
discussion questions that will capture your interest and help you
develop critical thinking skills. New to the Third Edition Ninety
percent of the journal articles have been updated and introduce you
to important topics, such as the effects of trial judges' sex and
race, perceptions of plea bargaining, wrongful convictions, and the
sentencing of drug offenders. New "Current Controversy" debates in
each chapter highlight contentious issues in the courts, such as
public defender caseloads, the impact of social media on criminal
trials, and the need for more drug courts. A new "Current Cases"
boxed feature elaborates on recent key court decisions and the
impact they have had on issues such as defining "effective"
counsel, racial bias in sentencing and jury deliberations, and the
importance of judicial impartiality. Coverage of critical topics
has been expanded throughout to introduce you to important issues,
such as specialized courts, bail and pretrial release, the death
penalty, and restorative justice. Statistics, graphs, and tables
have all been updated to demonstrate the most recent trends in the
court system.
