Criminal Justice: Law and PoliticsGeorge F. Cole The selections in George Cole's new edition offer a provocative introduction to the criminal justice system as it has developed -- and how it exists today. Logically divided into parts which fit the criminal justice system orientation of many courses, the book includes twenty-seven classic and contemporary articles that promote understanding of important issues in the field and encourage readers to think critically about the links between politics, law, and the administration of criminal justice. Twelve new articles reflect new theoretical perspectives, interdisciplinary studies, and the recent expansion of research in criminal justice. Readers will explore everything from crime policies which do or do not work to the latest hot topics. |
