"Welcome to the World of Criminal Justice. The more than 1,100 individual entries in this two-volume ready-reference source explain in concise, detailed, and jargon-free language some of the most important topics, theories, discoveries, concepts, and organizations in criminal justice. Brief biographical profiles of the people who have made a significant and lasting impact on the field of criminal justice and society in general are also included. More than 320 photographs, statistical charts, and graphs aid the reader in understanding the topics and people covered in the reference work.
"World of Criminal Justice has been designed and written with students and non-experts in mind. In so doing, we have compiled a vast array of straightforward, alphabetically arranged entries that will be useful to students who need accessible and concise information for school-related work, as well as to others who want reliable and informative introductions to the numerous aspects of the discipline of criminal justice.
"It becomes increasingly important for all people to have a practical, theoretical, and historical understanding of criminal justice because it reflects real world issues, including age discrimination, criminal procedure, female offenders, traffic offenses, and war crimes. We hope that the entries contained in the World of Criminal Justice will help you understand some of these and other important issues and how they affect you and the world in which you live.
