Elements of Criminal Justice

The second edition of Elements of Criminal Justice features current, significant research, including that of the author. Built on James A. Inciardi's internationally recognized research in diverse areas such as drug policy, substance abuse, and AIDS prevention, it draws extensively upon his personal experience in law enforcement and corrections. Frequently provocative, sometimes disturbing, and always committed to an unflinching view of reality, the text is complemented by real-world illustrations and examples that offer a complete picture of criminal justice and capture student interest. Marginal glossaries, chapter summaries, discussion questions, and media resources are included.
