Synopsis
Introduction to Criminal Justice, Seventh Edition, introduces readers to the field of criminal justice. The book is organized around three basic themes: the system-like nature of criminal justice, the core conflict between due process and crime control, and the importance of discretion.
Key topics discussed include criminal justice perspectives; the justice process; crime and crime control; crime statistics; police and policing; law enforcement in the criminal justice system; the criminal courts; people and problems in the courts; and the goals and process of punishment. The book also covers problems and issues in incarceration; probation, parole, and community corrections; issues in community supervision; the juvenile justice system; and discharge and developments. This new edition provides expanded coverage of topics such as impact of current federal attention to terrorism and homeland security, and the justice system's growing emphasis on crime prevention and community quality of life. There is also an increased focus on criminal justice theory, aimed at encouraging theoretical thinking in students.

Review
"This seventh edition of an introductory core text for freshman undergraduates offers an extended focus on theoretical criminology throughout the text. There is new information on terrorism and homeland security, along with updated references and statistics. The look of the text has been enhanced with additional b&w photos in a reader-friendly, two-color layout with ample space for handwritten notes. The text is written in a conversational style at a reading level geared toward the typical college freshman, and focuses on three basic themes: the system-like nature of criminal justice, the conflict between due process and crime control, and the importance of discretion. The first part of the book sets the context for the study of criminal justice, with chapters on theoretical perspectives, the justice process, and crime and crime control. The second part is composed of 10 chapters addressing the justice process (including the juvenile justice system). Learning features include review questions, key terms, and an extensive glossary."--Reference and Research Book News
