About the book:

A contemporary guide to the criminal justice process, the broad scope of this book means it will be a trusted companion throughout a Criminology and/or Criminal Justice degree.

The contents of An Introduction to Criminal Justice include:

  • 23 chapters spanning all that’s involved with, and fully contextualising, the criminal justice process: the agencies, institutions and processes and procedures that deal with victims, offenders and offending
     
  • A detailed timeline of criminal justice since 1945
     
  • Consideration of victims and witnesses, complaints and misconduct
     
  • A comprehensive review of policing, prosecution, the courts, imprisonment and community sanctions
     
  • A focus on community safety, crime prevention and youth justice
     
  • A review of the effectiveness of the criminal justice process
     
  • Exploration of global and international dimensions as well as the futures of criminal justice
  • Lots of helpful extras including further reading suggestions, case studies, self-study questions and a glossary of terms.

"To write an introduction to criminal justice which is coherent and accessible while recognising the complexity and sheer messiness of its subject-matter is a considerable challenge, to which the editors and contributors have risen admirably. The 23 chapters build up a rich picture of a diverse set of practices and their recent history and help the reader to situate current developments and controversies in a wider context."
- Tony Ward, Northumbria University
