Foundations of Criminal Justice

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Foundations of Criminal Justice asks important questions often ignored in the introdution to criminal justice course: Why is our justice system the way it is? How do we decide which actions are crimes? How is policy made? What is justice and is it achieved? Having tackled these concepts and understood the ideas and motivations underlying our justice system, students are better prepared to understand what the police, courts, and corrections do and why--and to think critically about the decisions they will face should they go on to work in the field.
