The Criminal Justice System

Now in its fifth edition, this volume incorporates the latest developments in the field while retaining the basic organization of previous editions which made this textbook so popular. Exploring the police, prosecutors, courts, and corrections, including probation and parole, the book moves chronologically through the different agencies in the order in which they are usually encountered when an individual goes through the criminal justice process. This edition includes expanded material on the history of law enforcement, additional information on terrorism and cybercrime, new approaches to policing and crime analysis, and additional information on prosecution standards and abuse, community prosecution, and prisoner radicalization.
