Crime, Justice, and Social Control explores formal and informal
dimensions of social control and demonstrates that law and the
criminal justice system are set within the wider context of social
control. Combining theory with key policy issues, the text
addresses the challenges facing criminal justice practitioners,
researchers, and elected officials. Part I outlines the origins and
types of social control from a sociological perspective. Parts II
through V build on these foundational theories by further exploring
adjudication and sentencing, policing and investigations, and
correctional policies and issues. Each section raises key questions
under discussion by academics, policymakers, and elected officials,
and helps students understand the complexity and range of
challenges faced by those involved in the criminal justice process.
The revised second edition features readings on the topics of moral
panics, undocumented persons and border policing, private and
public policing, racial profiling, wrongful convictions, mass
incarceration, prisoner reentry, and the criminalization of school
discipline in the United States. Crime, Justice, and Social Control
is suitable for introductory courses in criminal justice, as well
as courses in social control and criminal justice policy.
