America's Courts and the Criminal Justice System (with CD-ROM and InfoTrac)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
By far the best-selling text in the market, AMERICA'S COURTS AND THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM focuses on the dynamics of the court by introducing the concept of the "courtroom workhouse" and the interrelated relationship of the three main actors-judge, prosecutor, and defense attorney-thus illustrating the law in action, not just boring theories and facts. Neubauer also uses a myriad of pedagogical devices which bring the court process to life for students. This text has become a leader in large part because of its comprehensiveness, its focus on the dynamics of the process, and its pedagogical features. The Seventh Edition is now packaged free with the interactive Crime and Punishment CD-ROM.
