Criminal JusticeA textbook for the introductory criminal justice course, first published in 1984 and most recently in 1990. Beyond the updating of facts, court decisions, issues, and research findings, this edition addresses the current "drug driven" nature of all phases of the criminal justice process--the result of the US "war on drugs" during the 1980s and early 1990s.
