Book Description
Addressing a significant void in the extant literature on the topic of domestic violence,
Rural Woman Battering and the Justice System presents a thorough and arresting look at the experiences of battered women in rural communities. While living in the rural areas of Kentucky, Neil Websdale conducted his ethnographic research, and he situated the voices of rural battered women at the center of his ethnography. He clearly demonstrates how rural patriarchy and the insidious "good ol’ boy network" of law enforcement and local politics sustain and reproduce the subordinate, vulnerable, isolated position of many rural women. Taking into account that traditional patterns of intervention can often put women in isolated communities at further risk, the author recommends a coordinated multiagency approach to rural battering that is spearheaded by state feminist agencies. The chapter on the difficulties of an educated male researcher working with rural battered women offers a definite methodological plus. Illuminating and accessible,
Rural Woman Battering and the Justice System makes a most important and timely contribution to the field.
An excellent training resource for anyone working with battered women, especially in rural areas,
Rural Woman Battering and the Justice System is highly recommended for law enforcement and criminal justice professionals, practitioners, advocates, shelter personnel, and advanced students in related courses of study, as well as academics and researchers.
Book Description
Providing coverage of modern management theory, this text emphasizes the application of management techniques appropriate to each area of the criminal justice system.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE ORGANIZATIONS is known for being thorough, approachable, and practical. It is praised for having strong pedagogical features, such as "Work Perspectives" and "Case Summaries".

Book Description
The first of its kind to integrate theory and “real-world” application in juvenile delinquency, this extensively researched volume addresses today's most current developments and issues, with probing examinations of the extent, nature and origins of American juvenile delinquency; the factors in contemporary life that generate or influence delinquency; and the juvenile justice process and methods for controlling, treating and preventing delinquency. The authors examine, define and explain delinquency, the effects of the social environment on delinquency, the juvenile justice process, and preventing, treating, and controlling delinquency. For those interested in a clear examination of juvenile delinquency.
Book Description
This text presents laws of evidence via case law in a law-book numerical reference format. The author, who has experience both as an attorney and police officer, presents the material in legal language to familiarize the student with the style and format legal professionals use. New pedagogy includes end-of-chapter questions.
Book Description
The most exciting revision to date! Bartollas continues to provide a comprehensive, cutting-edge overview of all aspects of juvenile delinquency with a sociological focus.
Readers will rejoice in the new large-format paperback design at a lower price, and the free Voices of Delinquency supplement that comes with every copy of the book!
For anyone interested in sociology, criminology, criminal justice, or juvenile delinquency.

Truthful Description.......2007-01-30
The book was in the same condition the seller said it would be and was the same edition too. I received this book faster than expected.
Book Description
This time-tested text continues to gives students a broad context in which to study the history, theories, and responses to crime and criminology, using a unique blend of both social science and legal research. The only criminology text to include legal case excerpts to demonstrate the role of the courts in the reformation of the criminal justice system, this book gives readers a solid understanding of the integral relationship between the law and theories of criminal behavior. Current topics are explored beyond the headlines, examining the implications of our governing theories and policies.
Book Description
A brief text based on Maxfield/Babbie's best-selling, RESEARCH METHODS FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND CRIMINOLOGY, Fourth Edition, this "basics edition" combines accessibility and a conversational writing-style with Michael G. Maxfield's expertise in criminology and criminal justice. In just 12 chapters the text features criminal justice examples of methodology in the field and utilizes real data. This basics edition also includes coverage of ethics, causation, validity, and research design, especially in the discussion of field research.
Book Description
This best-selling text presents criminal justice as a dynamic, ever-changing field, emphasizing how the concepts and processes of criminal justice are constantly evolving. Authors Siegel and Senna emphasize a comprehensive and balanced approach to the three major areas of criminal justice (police, courts, and corrections) and to theory, research, and policy issues, with a focus on generating students' interest in the criminal justice field. This text is the ultimate tool for complete student preparation and provides all of the up-to-date coverage of structural and procedural changes in the criminal justice system that instructors require, ultimately helping students understand the critical issues in the field, and the impact they have on the system.
