Table of ContentsReviewsIntroduction to Criminal Justice can be used at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The reason I first adopted the book was that it was not encyclopedic but covered major issues and the cost was reasonable. Gennaro Vito, University of Louisville The text provides a sound overall introduction and discussion of the multiple topics that must be covered in the course in a relatively short period of time. It presents a variety of sub-topics, usually in a logical learning sequence for students. Craig Wiggin, University of Southern New Hampshire In the Ninth Edition of Introduction to Criminal Justice, Brad Edwards continues to build on the student accessible tradition of this excellent textbook. Comprehensive, balanced, and affordable, Introduction to Criminal Justice explores not only the process and systemic features of criminal justice, it also engages students in such contemporary justice issues as immigration policy and police use of force. The inclusion of a policy dilemma feature for each chapter will encourage students to better understand how policy is often the bridge between theory and practice.
