Known for its lucid style, student-oriented approach, and interdisciplinary global perspective, this criminology text also includes four chapters on the criminal justice system in a concluding part, "A Criminological Approach to the Criminal Justice System". Within each text chapter "Theory Connects" marginal inserts give students much needed cross-reference material and pose critical thinking questions. End-of-chapter "Criminology & Public Policy" exercises encourage students to explore policy issues, and a "Criminological Times" feature in every chapter introduces a relevant New York Times article. "Theory Informs Policy" sections demonstrate the interrelatedness of theory, policy, and practice, highlighting the practical aspect of the work of criminologists. Excellent coverage of international and comparative crime and criminology is reinforced by an acclaimed thematic feature, "Window to the World," which highlights the international dimensions of crime and criminology in every chapter. - Back cover.
