Opis

Written by Lab, Williams, Holcomb, King, and Buerger, Explaining Criminal Justice is the first brief survey text designed for students entering the field of criminal justice who lack a criminal justice background.
This primer's helpful shorthand presentation will be useful to students in a variety of ways:
* Defines key terminology and issues in an easily understood format.
* Offers a basic understanding of the component parts of the criminal justice system and how they interrelate.
* Provides coverage of all major issues--plus a realistic overview of the criminal justice system.
Each chapter features a list of key terms, brief discussions of the important issues under each topic, discussions of emerging issues and concerns in the field, references for all key topics, a brief bibliography, and appropriate website listings.

The approach is excellent. How have we survived so long without this text? This is an excellent overview for students without a criminal justice background.
