Criminal Justice: The System in Perspective provides a refreshing look at the criminal justice system, highlighting the complexities and interconnectedness of crime and justice. Criminal Justice focuses on recent research, real-world events, and the criminal case process. The text uses the term "criminal justice system" to refer to the collective body of criminal justice systems within the United States. The focus in this book is on general practices within these
systems, with some attention paid to variations in practices among jurisdictions. Upon reading this book you will have a firm understanding of how the system works, the many different groups who comprise our justice systems, and various important issues surrounding crime and justice.
