Synopsis

"This is the best text I have encountered in the criminal justice field. Every component is of superior quality. The final product is outstanding. I have not experienced a text of this superior quality in my lengthy career in academia."

―Sheryl L. Van Horne, Arcadia University

Crime and Criminal Justice: Concepts and Controversies introduces students to the key concepts of the criminal justice system and invites them to explore emerging issues. Students will gain a balanced perspective of the criminal justice system through Current Controversy debates at the end of each chapter that motivate students to apply what they learned by critically analyzing and discussing the pros and cons of the issues presented. Examining important, but often overlooked, components, such as the role of victims and policy, Crime and Criminal Justice helps students develop a foundational understanding of the structures, agencies, and functions of the criminal justice system, as well as build the confidence and skills they need to effectively analyze current issues in criminal justice.
