Reviews / Votes
Criminal Justice: The Essentials is a competitively priced and abbreviated book that offers students a well-rounded understanding of the U.S. justice system. It is structured well, reads very easily, covers the essential points of discussion, and offers supplemental reading material resources. Students will benefit greatly from the material this book covers and the quality of its writing. * Frank Ferdik, University of West Florida * This is the ideal book for an introduction to criminal justice course. It delivers exactly what the title promises: the essentials of criminal justice. I would give the writing style an 'A.' Criminal Justice: The Essentials is a great value for the price, and the length is such that students will actually read the book. * Dennis McCarty, University at Albany, State University of New York * Criminal Justice: The Essentials cuts through the massive amount of information usually presented in criminal justice texts and helps students think critically. It is the simple yet concise text that professors have been looking for! * Michelle L. Foster, Kent State University *More details
