Helping students develop a passion to learn more about the dynamic
field of criminal justice, this concise bestseller introduces students
to the criminal justice system by following the case studies of four
individuals in their real-life progression through the system. Each
case study is strategically woven throughout the book to help students
remember core concepts and make connections between different branches
of the system. In addition to illustrating the real-life pathways and
outcomes of criminal behavior and victimization, authors Callie Marie
Rennison and Mary Dodge provide students with a more inclusive
overview of criminal justice by offering insight into overlooked
demographics and the perspectives of victims.
This newly revised THIRD EDITION encourages students to think
critically and discuss issues affecting today’s criminal justice
system with engaging coverage of victims, criminal justice
professionals, offenders, and controversial issues found in the
criminal justice process.
