Crime and Criminal Justice combines traditional concepts with contemporary thought-provoking cases and engaging learning tools. Each chapter is followed by two Current Controversy debates that challenge misconceptions and provide a balanced debate of both the pros and cons of each issue. The debates are concluded with probing questions to stimulate student engagement and critical thinking., Crime and Criminal Justice: Concepts and Controversies (by Stacy L. Mallicoat) introduces students to the key concepts of the criminal justice system and invites them to explore emerging issues. Students will gain a balanced perspective of the criminal justice system through Current Controversy debates at the end of each chapter that motivate students to apply what they learned by critically analyzing and discussing the pros and cons of the issues presented. Examining important, but often overlooked, components, such as the role of victims and policy, Crime and Criminal Justice helps students develop a foundational understanding of the structures, agencies, and functions of the criminal justice system, as well as build the confidence and skills they need to effectively analyze current issues in criminal justice., Stacy Mallicoat's Crime and Criminal Justice: Concepts and Controversies will provide a thematic overview of the criminal justice system. It aims to provide an alternative to the introductory criminal justice textbooks currently available. While the coverage will be broad, chapters will be relatively brief at roughly 20 pages, followed by key, contemporary issues presented in a point/counterpoint format, written by recognized experts on those topics. Crime and Criminal Justice will have a policy orientation with a strong emphasis on ethics and work to engage students and develop their critical thinking skills. An Interactive Ebook format will allow for links to SAGE owned and online video clips, research articles and related content to enhance the chapter coverage and understanding of the issues in the point/counterpoint essays.
