文档介绍：Criminal Justice
This new text will encourage students to develop a deeper understanding of the context and
the current workings of the criminal justice system.
The first part offers a clear, accessible prehensive review of the major philosophical
aims and sociological theories of punishment, the history of justice and punishment and
the developing perspective of victimology. In Part II, the focus is on the main areas of the
contemporary criminal justice system – including the police, the courts and judiciary, prisons
munity penalties.
The active engagement of students with the material covered distinguishes this text from
others in the area and makes it a real teaching resource for lecturers and tutors. There are
regular reflective question breaks which enable students to consider and respond to questions
relating to what they have just read.
Criminal Justice is particularly geared to undergraduate students following programmes in
criminal justice and criminology. It will also prove a useful resource for practitioners who are
following vocationally based courses in the criminal justice area – for instance, social work,
youth justice and police training courses.
