Editorial Reviews
Review
"This text is a thorough but affordable resource for students in the introductory criminal justice course. It provides a platform for encouraging critical thinking while also offering the necessary practical overview of the criminal justice system."--Jeff Bryson, Glenville State College
"The writing is clear and direct, but certainly not simplistic. I found the critical thinking pieces appropriately challenging for newcomers to the field."--Robert Cadigan, Boston University
"Criminal Justice: The Essentials 6th Edition provides condensed coverage of the criminal justice system and its components without leaving out necessary detail and clarity on the topics. The cost for the printed text and the ebook is extremely reasonable."--Michelle L. Foster, Kent State University
