3. Introduction to Criminal Justice is the perfect text for students who are interested in pursuing a career in criminal justice and for those who simply want to learn more about the criminal justice system. The authors’ combined experience of more than 50 years in teaching introduction to criminal justice as well as working in the field — Bohm as a correctional officer and Haley as a police officer — come through in their accessible yet comprehensive presentation. They make it easy for readers to understand that much of what the public “knows” about criminal justice in the United States is myth, and help students learn the truth about the U.S. criminal justice system.With the CourseSmart eTextbook version of this title, students can save up to 50% off the cost of a print book, reduce their impact on the environment, and access powerful web tools for learning.
