Softcover. Condition: Good. 6th. Students of criminal justice must deal with some of the most emotional and complex questions that confront our society: Does our criminal justice system discriminate against minorities? What is the proper goal of punishment? Is it moral and ethical for the state to take a life? Trying to find solutions to the wide array of problems surrounding crime in the United States is no small task. Scholars have closely scrutinized these issues over the past forty years and the result is a massive body of literature. Culbertson and Weisheit have focused on some of the major concerns that have emerged from it. The Sixth Edition of "Order Under Law" reflects recent trends in criminal justice scholarship, emphasizing concerns raised by contemporary society. The editors have assembled readings that illustrate the complexities of the police, courts, and corrections and have done so in a way that is accessible to the general reader. Eight of the fifteen articles are new to this edition.
