New to this edition are significant updates on: Race and the police More comparison/contrasts of deviance and criminality Alternative pathways in criminal justice new technology such as self-driving cars Gay marriage American political dynasties Refugee and immigration issues in Europe & globally American political dynasties China's growing power New trade initiatives "States" in the Middle East Nuclear arms control Expanded web-based ancillaries for students and teachers
