CJ 2019 is a clear, thought-provoking exploration of core concepts, the latest research and current events shaping criminal justice today. Built to be affordable without sacrificing academic rigor, its pedagogy moves you beyond memorization to true understanding.

Building on the 2010 Edition, the 2019 Edition explores significant changes in the criminal justice field in 2017 and 2018, and the resulting challenges faced by practitioners in law enforcement, corrections and the courts. You'll consider the cross-systems nature of crime, law and justice, and the benefits of integrative approaches to problem-solving.

New topics include judicial and legislative developments, debates around the police and police training, and developments in immigration policy and homeland security.
