Editorial Reviews
Book Description
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN AMERICA: MEDIA EDITION, 3rd is an offspring of Cole/Smith's THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, 9th (2001). It relies on the hallmarks of "the Eagle, " including the research and conceptual framework of the larger text, but the material has been rewritten in a style that is descriptive and informative, without being overly theoretical. A less expensive, shorter text than most Introductory titles in the market today, it is approachable and includes solid and balanced research within a social science context, taking into account the economic, political, sociological, historical, and philosophical implications of the criminal justice system. It also has an increased instructor's package as well as more student-oriented features. The text is now more accessible to students of all levels. With the new CD-ROM, packaged with this edition, students will be introduced to an interactive world for learning.
