Crime, Law, and Justice provides students with a comprehensive
introduction to the field of criminal justice and the criminal
justice system. Based on both criminological research and
theoretical analysis, the anthology addresses crime in society,
victimization, criminological theories, policing and law
enforcement, and more. Students read articles on the politics of
criminological research, historical and contemporary perspectives
on policing, and criminal prosecution. Specific chapters address
the due process of law, plea bargaining, juvenile justice, and the
current scale of imprisonment in the United States. The second
edition features new readings on probation, parole, and community
corrections; plea bargaining; criminal profiling; bail; and the
politics of victimization. Crime, Law, and Justice asks critical
questions about the criminal justice system, encouraging students
to consider why it functions as it does and if there are ways to
improve it. The text is suitable for introductory courses in
criminology and criminal justice. It is also a valuable tool for
classes in sociology, police administration, and criminal or
constitutional law.
