Publisher's Synopsis
"CJ: Realities and Challenges, Fifth Edition, provides a uniquely interdisciplinary view of criminal justice not found in any other text. As both academics and practitioners with diverse backgrounds in law enforcement, the courts, corrections, and victim services, we provide a comprehensive, contemporary, and realistic perspective on these vital institutions. We wrote this text using a highly collaborative process. To ensure that each branch of the criminal justice system was thoroughly represented, we organized our research, writing, and editing efforts as a peer review circle. Each chapter was the product of an ongoing, iterative review by the entire author team"--.
