Description

In CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN AMERICA, Eighth Edition, authors George Cole, Christopher Smith, and Christina DeJong have accomplished much within a brief format. This concise introductory criminal justice text not only introduces students to the field's foundations and individual components, but also to the many professional opportunities available in the justice system – all within a unique interdisciplinary framework and emphasizing how public policy impacts criminal justice as it is practiced today. Created as an alternative to more expensive, encyclopedic introductory texts, this reader-friendly best seller incorporates ideas, themes, and theories from criminology, sociology, law, history, psychology, and political science. In addition to a strong interdisciplinary emphasis, CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN AMERICA teaches students to become better citizens by helping them think critically about what justice means in our society and how individuals can play a role in defining that meaning.教学资源：PPT、教师手册、题库、Course Support 、MindTap Rubrics 。教学资源目前仅能提供给老师，获取方式如下： 1. 邮箱获取：将教辅需求发邮件至asia.infochina@cengage.com 2. 电话获取：010-83435111 3. 微信获取：关注我们的公众号，会由客服人员答疑解惑公众号名称：圣智教育服务中心微信号：Cengage_Learning 4.
