Justice Administration: Police, Courts, and Corrections Management is the #1 market choice for justice administration courses. It examines all relevant facets of the criminal justice system. Taking an active-learning approach, the authors draw on real-world examples throughout and include practical exercises in most chapters. The text flows logically, from basic justice administration, to police, courts and corrections, and finally, ethical, financial and technological influences.

The 9th Edition focuses on accountability, particularly of the police, in the aftermath of police shootings of unarmed minorities. It also includes a new chapter on homeland security, as well as seven new case studies and ethical dilemmas.
