This is a collection of daring chapters on the state of the
discipline. Each chapter considers a specific criminal justice or
criminological problem ... new or persistent ... with fresh eyes.
The contributors pull no punches: their insights are novel,
salient, and sometimes controversial. A Closer Look at Criminal
Justice is thematically divided into three parts. Part 1: Criminal
Justice and Criminology in Education, discusses how we teach our
undergraduate students about race, the way we treat our graduate
students, and inmate education. We wanted to highlight criminal
justice education at the university level in the first part of the
book in large part because this book is best suited in the
classroom, but especially because as educators, we live and breathe
the importance of education. The book progresses in Part 2, Theory
and Praxis, with a discussion of applicable criminological theory
and research methodology in criminal justice where the goal is to
highlight the importance of using theory and research as the
foundation for policy positions, support, and understanding. The
remaining part of the book, Persistent Issues in Criminal Justice,
provides fresh insights on "old" subjects and problems in the
administration of justice, such as community policing, the aging
prison population, and marijuana use in the United States of
America. This book is best suited in senior seminars, capstone, or
contemporary issues courses; master's level classes on the criminal
justice system; and is also important for faculty members and
doctoral students with a vested interest in the current tempo of
criminal justice practice, research, education, and thought.
Reading this book, students and scholars should have a better idea
of the current issues facing our discipline, particularly those
issues that do not get as much exposure as others.
