Politics & Government

McGraw=Hill

"Women are committing more crimes - and more violent ones - than ever before. And this crime wave is growing at an alarming rate. In this landmark in the study of female crime, Freda Adler overcomes a decade of resistance from traditional theorists, police chiefs, judges, and probation officers to take account of new social facts. based on several years of original research, this is a total reassessment of the scope, depth, and implications of female crime; it shows that thousands of women are stepping across the imaginary boundary line that once separated crimes into 'masculine' and 'feminine' categories. Dr. Adler explains how female assertiveness has led women to break out of the traditional limits of prostitution and shoplifting into the major leagues of crime, including crimes of violence, which are for women increasing at rates six and seven times as great as those for men...."

An outstanding text for the Introduction to Criminal Justice course. Criminal Justice has become an international field and this text has better international coverage than any other text on the market. Careful attention has been paid to pedagogy so that students learn the material easily; a running glossary appears in the margin of each page as well as quotes from newsworthy professionals. The three types of boxes are real teaching tools. Each box is a two page spread and consists of text, sources and questions along with photos or tables to help students understand the material. This text is heavily referenced. The references alone constitute a suggested readings appendix.

College Level Textbook for Criminal Justice 101/102

Both professors and students have long felt the need for a concise paperback text in Criminal Justice. CRIMINAL JUSTICE: THE CORE responds to these needs: 14 chapters are appropriate for the typical one-semester course. The approach is simple and straightforward. Style and terminology are as non-technical as the subject matter permits. THE CORE is a four color text that features new full page photo bleeds with accompanying boxes covering the most up-to-date topics such as jury selection (O. J. Simpson), jury deadlocks (the Menendez trial), tracking down international criminals (Carlos the Jackal) and dealing with them (International Criminal Courts). Major changes from the full version include the following: The basics that every entering student should master before concentrating on the system itself have been condensed to two chapters; CH. 1 which presents CJ as the outgrowth of the political developments of the 20th Century and CH. 2 which explains why some people commit crimes, the prevalence, types and basic structure of crime as seen by the law. CH. 3-13 examine the policy (Part 2), courts (Part 3), and corrections (Part 4). Each chapter has been updated and fully revised, focusing on the core of each topic. In a brief final part we deal with juvenile justice.

Criminal Justice: The Core

Written by internationally well-known and highly respected figures in the field, this leading text for the criminology course offered in departments of sociology and criminal justice, is known for its lucid style and particularly strong coverage of international and comparative crime. 
This text is available in two versions, one with, and the other without coverage of the criminal justice system. For schools that retain the traditional criminology course, which includes criminological coverage of criminal justice, Criminology, third edition, is the ideal text. For schools that have expanded their offerings by adding an introductory course in criminal justice, Criminology: The Shorter Version, 3/e, is probably more appropriate. The Shorter Version omits Part IV (A Criminological Approach to the Criminal Justice System).

Criminal acts are often the result of a number of influences. Socialization and processes based in the family influence behaviours, as do experiences at school, among peers, in the workplace, and in broader society. Media is a critical factor here too. All of these experiences and interactions with others have a "ripple effect": some are criminogenic, most are not. Moreover, the ripple effect suggests that whether we focus on the prevention, intervention, or suppression of crime, the approaches are intertwined. 
A readable, attractive, and student-first text, Criminology, second Canadian edition is rich with pedagogical elements that promote and foster critical thinking. Building on the solid foundation of the first Canadian edition, this improved and updated edition features many new examples, a freshly written Epilogue, and even more Canadian content.
