A practical and applied introduction to criminal justice

Introduction to Criminal Justice: Practice and Process, 3rd Edition (PDF) shows you how to think practically about the criminal justice system by offering you a proven, problem-based approach to learning. Bestselling authors Kenneth J. Peak and Tamara D. Madensen draw on their many years of combined practitioner and academic experience to explain the importance of criminal justice and show how key trends, emerging issues, historical background, and practical lessons can be applied in the field.

New to the Third Edition:

  • An emphasis on constitutional policing, legitimacy, and procedural justice stresses the importance for police to develop a “guardian” mindset over a “soldier” mindset.
  • New video interviews with criminal justice professionals offer career advice, provide insights into various career paths, and discuss challenges and misconceptions of each profession.
  • New examples and case studies of ethical dilemmas illustrate today′s climate of distrust, dissension, and dysfunction, encouraging you to think critically about what is considered “ethical.”
  • New discussions of contemporary criminological theories―such as social structure theories, social process theories, social conflict theories, feminist theories, and environmental criminology theories―concisely explain why people commit crimes and how to prevent them in the modern world.
  • An in-depth view of three particularly challenging problems and policy issues―terrorism, the mentally ill population, and illegal immigration―demonstrate how today’s society and the criminal justice system are affected by these issues and what can be done to address the problems.
