Summary
Criminal justice is often described as a "system" or integrated set of processes forming part of one overarching, coherent social practice. For others, criminal justice is best seen as a diverse array of agencies and practices, all operating with their own discreet values and goals. In this impressively edited collection of key texts, one of the foremost scholars in the field has assembled a range of readings on Criminal Justice which reveal the complex diversity of the subject. Carefully edited, with a thought-provoking introduction, this collection will be welcomed by teachers and students alike as an invaluable resource.
