The American System of Criminal Justice

Help students discover the challenges of pursuing justice in our society and identify the roles individuals play in the criminal justice system with this classic best seller, commonly referred to as "The Eagle." Using an interdisciplinary lens, THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, 16th Edition, presents elements from criminology, sociology, law, history, psychology, and political science -- challenging students to ask questions and recognize contemporary problems as the means to understanding the system's workings as well as its human consequences and policy challenges. Cole, Smith, and DeJong offer solid scholarship, approachable writing, and compelling events and cases that hold students' attention, thereby preparing them to participate in the system as citizens and future criminal justice practitioners. The MindTap online option helps students master techniques and key concepts. Available with MindTap, the digital learning solution that powers students' mastery of key concepts while engaging them with video cases, career scenarios, visual summaries, and more.
