Introduction to Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice

Book Description

The strength of this book is that it provides coverage of both law enforcement and the criminal justice system in one convenient text. No other text offers a similar hybrid. Wrobleski and Hess offer a practical, yet comprehensive, approach and emphasize the law enforcement perspective as they examine the role of police in the criminal justice system. Another key strength of this book is that it has an easily accessible writing style and extensive pedagogy.

i just bought this book at my campus the other day. I can't put it down. This book is very interesting and laid out nicely, definitions are made clear. i feel as if i am there when i look at the pictures in this book and when i am reading about a particular incident.another thing i like about this book is it combines traditional learning with the author wanting the reader to use the internet.

Book Description

This book covers the history of criminal justice from a critical perspective and explores the historical biases of the criminal justice system. The overall theme of this book is that both the making of laws and the interpretation and application of these laws throughout the history of the criminal justice system has, historically, been class, gender, and racially biased. Moreover, one of the major functions of the criminal justice system has been to control those from the most disadvantaged sectors of the population, that is, the "dangerous classes." This theme is explored using a historical model, tracing the development of criminal law through the development of the police institution, the juvenile justice system, and the prison system. For anyone interested in the history of criminal justice.

Long Vehicle - Please Do NOT Pass.......1999-11-28

Unfortunately, Wadsworth editors allowed Andrew Karmen to turn what could have been a nippy little sports car into a 14-wheeler. The 370+ pages could have been edited to 200 had an editor removed the padding. Instead of zipping along, readers have to drag both themselves and an articulated truckful of words behind them. No verb is left without an adverb and synonym, no noun without an adjective and a thesaurus-full of alternatives, and no idea passes without a repetitive redundancy. Consider, just as an example, the "media." No, you are not smart enough to know what the media are; Andrew spells it all out - "The news media - newspapers, magazines, and radio and television stations - deserve...." (page 25) Gee, thanks, Andrew, I really needed that pointed out to me! I won't bother with more.

All of this is a pity because the subject matter is important. But the book -in the way that it is written - suggests that this is a little subject being dressed up, padded and presented as more than it is. And that is the opposite of what I believe, and the opposite of what Andrew Karmen intends.

The book is worth reading, but prepare for heavy hauling. Wadsworth - you have done Andrew and Victimology a disservice.
