Description
Summary:	Criminal Justice: Introductory Cases & Materials begins with an introduction to the concept of crime, & addresses major issues surrounding that concept - such as how we measure criminality, its variety, & the justifications we employ punishing it. This is followed by an introduction to processing institutions - police, prosecutor, defense attorney, courts, sentencing & corrections. The book stresses the relations among these institutions & illustrates them with examples.
