by Henri C. Raffalli

Crimes and Criminals: A Collection of Case Summaries Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Realism — over seventy case studies drawn from actual court records.

Experience — written by a judge for the New York State Division of Parole.

Complete Coverage — covers all index crimes as well as kidnapping, conspiracy, bribery, and juvenile crime.

A compelling choice for instructors who want their students to know the realities of probation and parole.

Book News Annotation:

This collection of real-life cases will familiarize students with how the criminal justice system deals with common crimes. It can be used in criminal justice courses in case analysis and report writing. Cases are presented in the format currently in use in most probation, parole, and corrections agencies in the US. An introduction explains terms, overviews decision making in the discretionary release process, and outlines release guidelines. Cases are in sections on murder, robbery, kidnapping, assault, weapons offenses, arson, possession of stolen property, drugs, and juvenile crime. Raffalli teaches criminal justice at Nassau Community College.
