Courts: A Text/Reader, Third Edition, helps you understand the U.S. court system in context, with each brief authored section of the text enhanced by edited research articles that illustrate the questions and controversies in the judicial system today. The articles reflect both classic studies of the criminal court system and state-of-the-art research, and they often have a policy perspective that demonstrates the potential impact research can have on the court system. Designed to enhance understanding, the book includes a helpful “How to Read a Research Article” section before the first reading, as well as article introductions and discussion questions that will capture your interest and help you develop critical thinking skills.
New to the Third Edition
- Ninety percent of the journal articles have been updated and introduce you to important topics, such as the effects of trial judges’ sex and race, perceptions of plea bargaining, wrongful convictions, and the sentencing of drug offenders.
- New “Current Controversy” debates in each chapter highlight contentious issues in the courts, such as public defender caseloads, the impact of social media on criminal trials, and the need for more drug courts.
- A new “Current Cases” boxed feature elaborates on recent key court decisions and the impact they have had on issues such as defining “effective” counsel, racial bias in sentencing and jury deliberations, and the importance of judicial impartiality.
- Coverage of critical topics has been expanded throughout to introduce you to important issues, such as specialized courts, bail and pretrial release, the death penalty, and restorative justice.
- Statistics, graphs, and tables have all been updated to demonstrate the most recent trends in the court system.
