It is difficult to have a text bring up new concepts and ideas in a field such as criminal justice, where most of the ideas are simply reworded from previous texts and given new titles. This text takes a look into the system and evaluates the consequences of some of the most controversial public policies.
A common sense approach to understanding the background of criminal justice. In the preview, Chapters 1 & 2 seem to articulate the definition of policy and a seamless transition of the science and social integration from all aspects. The book emphasize the understanding from all social backgrounds, race, economic, education, health care, age, and political influences of crime. To include the judicial approach from a branches of government, federal, state, and local governments that enforce policies that shapes the legal prospective. The definition of policy; but not all in compassing "Policy is what the government do or fail to do" Outstanding!
I choose this rating because I was extremely disappointed in the condition of the book. The review stated used nomarking and good conditions. The book was marked up, the spine was broken and pages falling out.I kept the book because it was the 2nd. week of class and to return it for another one I feared would putme too far behind with class reading/assisgnments. I will not buy again from this seller.
Very interesting read. It was a required read for my college class. It goes into the intricate methods of policy making in the United States, what is involved, the problems and solutions and makings of good fair policies.
