Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text is available in tow versions, one with, and the other without coverage of the criminal justice system. For schools that retain the traditional criminology course, which includes criminological coverage of Criminal Justice, Criminology, 3/e, is the ideal text. For schools that have expanded their offerings by adding an introductory course in criminal justice, Criminology: The Shorter Version, 3/e, is probably more appropriate. The Shorter Version omits Part IV: A Criminological Approach to the Criminal Justice System.
