Overview
Criminal Justice Today provides a compelling introduction to criminal justice through the lens of freedom and security. Author Frank Schmalleger explores the crime picture in the US and covers the three traditional elements of the criminal justice system: police, courts and corrections. Navigating the tension between individual rights and public order, he'll challenge you to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the US justice system.
The 17th Edition adds four new types of social justice boxes questioning the viability of our freedoms. You'll consider the struggles of the US justice system as it adapts to a society that's increasingly multicultural and one in which the rights of a few can threaten the safety of many.
