- Book 9 of 20: What's New in Criminal Justice
For courses in Criminal Justice Administration and Police Administration.
Unlike other texts, this comprehensive, single-author volume addresses the administration of the three components of the justice system―police, courts, corrections―as well as other contemporary administrative areas and hot issues―e.g., ethics, terrorism, racial profiling, vehicle pursuits, gender bias and women in corrections. Focused on the primary people, concepts, terms, and reality of contemporary justice administration, it reflects 33 years of the author's hands-on, front-line experience as a police and corrections practitioner and administrator, planner, and educator.
