9781781636862: Introduction to Criminal Justice System

Synopsis

The field of criminal justice is not a deep, still pond where one can see the bottom through crystal clear water. Rather, it is like a fast- moving stream with currents, crosscurrents, eddies, rapids, and hydraulics. Heraclitus' observation that one cannot step into the same stream twice is also true of the field of criminal justice, which can change just as dramatically. This book is intended to reflect those changes. We have written this book to reflect a theme that captures the excitement and potential of studying crime and the crim- inal justice system: the mainstream and cross- currents.
