Introduction to Criminal Justice provides students with a
comprehensive overview of four key, topical areas within criminal
justice: the law, the police, the courts, and corrections. In Unit
I, The Law, students read articles that examine the purpose of the
law in general, as well as the specific purposes of criminal law,
and also address the complex question of "What is crime?" Unit II
features readings that focus on law enforcement in America, police
operations, and police discretion. Students consider the unique
roles of police officers and how their professional
responsibilities often conflict with each other, sometimes
resulting in conflict and tension within the communities they are
meant to serve. In Unit III, The Courts, students are presented
with an overview of the U.S. court system; the qualifications,
roles, and responsibilities of key decision-makers in criminal
courts; and the sentencing of convicted offenders. The final unit
explains how the theories, purposes, and techniques of punishment
have changed over the centuries and explores the state of
corrections in modern-day practice. Designed to provide students
with an invaluable knowledge base in the discipline, Introduction
to Criminal Justice is an ideal textbook for foundational courses
and programs in criminal justice.
