had to read it for class

It’s a textbook. 👍🏼 it did it’s job of educating me on the topics of criminal Justice in a brief and not so brief way.

Yup, the title pretty much says it all--an introduction to criminal justice. Split into four parts: a general intro, police, courts, and corrections. Provides excellent break downs of the various aspects of all levels of law enforcement and court proceedings. Good for crim justice majors (obviously), but also recommended for aspiring lawyers to understand how the law relates to law enforcement.

Sometimes feels like I was taking a law class, with the many references to various cases, but it was framed from a more law enforcement centered standpoint.

Honestly a good enough book that I wouldn't mind reading parts of it again, or simply just "for fun" to understand some inner workings of all aspects of the justice system.

I am reading this for my Criminal Justice Class...so far it is pretty good reading...but he has stats from 2003 and I know there are more recent stats...so he is going to update the book again...and ask for more money...I don't dig that at all. Good material...bad ethics by the author.
