Public Policy Crime & Criminal Justice

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Provides a bridge between the issues related to Public Policy and crime through the use of original articles to deliver a "whole-system" view of policy, crime, and criminal justice.

Public Policy, Crime, and Criminal Justice presents original articles on various topics of crime and public policy, ranging from a general discussion of public policy to the causes of crime to the components of the criminal justice system to the implications for policy. The book is designed to help readers broaden their understanding of these areas free of the authors' own interpretation of the material.

Book News Annotation:

An anthology of articles that represent primary documents for students of public policy or criminal justice. They include overviews and discussions of the criminal justice system, law enforcement, the courts, corrections, juvenile justice, and trends. Each selection is followed by questions for discussion. No index.
