Criminal Justice in Action

Capture your students’ attention from day one with Gaines/Miller/Griggs’ "Criminal Justice in Action," 12th Edition. This edition’s highly praised magazine-style format provides a panoramic view of today’s evolving criminal justice system. Each chapter opens with a real-world vignette from current headlines, and each page illustrates examples of both criminal activity and the justice system’s response. Contemporary content blends with innovative pedagogy and clear learning objectives that reinforce understanding of key concepts. Students think critically and ethically as they explore the balance of interests, theories and practices shaping the field. MindTap reinforces learning with video quizzes, decision-making activities, chapter quizzes and new Listen and React activities that task students to listen critically and respond.
