Reviews
"The students in this course really liked this book and actively engaged in discussion of the articles. I like this approach as it challenges criminal justice students to examine the beliefs they hold based on partial knowlege of the subject. I really like that each chapter follows the same format."--Janice Ahmad, University of Houston-Downtown"This reader is the best supplement I have used or examined. The readings serve as a launching pad for numerous fascinating class discussions. I like the approach because it does a nice job of blending criminological theory, empirical evidence, and policy implications. ... This volume sparks student interest in critical issues in the criminal justice system by presenting competing perspectives on provocative topics. The authors teach students there are multiple ways to craft, implement and evaluate criminal justice policies. These are critical skills for students in the classroom and throughout their lives. No other book offers empirically-based evaluations of key issues in the criminal justice system in such a compelling and well-balanced manner."--Jenifer Hamil-Luker, University of North Carolina at Greensboro"This reader contains many articles on issues I anticipate continuing to cover in the criminology course and does so in a very effective manner. I like the fact that the articles are to the point, follow the same pattern, and have a similar theme, which I believe will be attractive to students."--Stuart Traub, SUNY Cortland, "The students in this course really liked this book and actively engaged in discussion of the articles.
