Kenneth J. Peak, Introduction to Criminal Justice: Practice and Process

Introduction to Criminal Justice offers a contemporary and applied approach to understanding the criminal justice system. Written by acclaimed author Kenneth J. Peak, whose experience covers various policing and administration roles in criminal justice, this comprehensive, reader-friendly text introduces students to the subject and importance of criminal justice, as well as the important trends, emerging issues, historical backgrounds, and practical lessons to apply in their careers. Students will learn about core topics in criminal justice--including policing, corrections, criminal behavior, and criminal law and courts, as well as special topics such as juvenile justice, terrorism, gangs, hate crimes, sex offenders, and domestic violence--while learning how to solve problems they are likely to face in a variety of criminal justice career paths.
