Criminal Justice Today introduces criminal justice through the lens of freedom and security. Focusing on the crime picture in the US, the authors present comprehensive coverage of the three traditional elements of the criminal justice system: police, courts and corrections. Built around the theme of tension between individual rights and public order, the text challenges you to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the American justice system.
The 16th Edition has been updated to reflect current issues. An expanded selection of Freedom or Safety boxes poses critical-thinking questions assessing whether and how the criminal justice system balances individual rights and public safety.
