Criminal Justice: An Introduction, 14th edition

Criminal Justice: An Introduction examines crime in the US, with a focus on police, courts and corrections. You’ll contemplate the fine line separating freedom from security. You’ll also evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the US justice system. A wealth of internet resources along with author tweets (@schmalleger) build on concepts, while keeping pace with changes in the field.

The 14th Edition evaluates the impact of social media and cybercrime on US efforts to adapt to an increasingly multicultural society. It adds four new types of social justice boxes (Reimagining Justice, Is It Fair?, Voices of Diversity and Justice-Informed Policing) that question the viability of our freedoms in the context of an evermore dangerous world.
