in America, written particularly for students of criminal justice
and those interested in the history of crime and punishment. It

its antecedents in England to revolutionary times, to the American
Civil War, right through the twentieth century to the age of
terrorism, this book combines a wealth of resources with keen
historical judgement to offer a fascinating account of the
development of criminal justice in America. A new chapter brings

broken down into four crucial components related to the American
criminal justice system from the historical perspective: lawmakers
and the judiciary; law enforcement; corrections; and crime and
punishment. A range of pedagogical features, including timelines of
key events, learning objectives, critical thinking questions and
sources, as well as a full glossary of key terms and a Who's Who in
Criminal Justice History, ensures that readers are well-equipped to

history. Essential reading for Criminal Justice majors and
historians alike, this book will be a fascinating text for anyone
