Courts: A Text/Reader (SAGE Text/Reader Series in Criminology and Criminal Justice)

By Wesley S McCann, Craig T Hemmens, Cassia C. Spohn, et al.

Book Overview

Courts: A Text/Reader provides the best of both worlds: authored text sections and carefully selected accompanying readings that illustrate the questions and controversies legal scholars and court researchers are investigating in the 21st century. The articles--from leading journals in criminology and criminal justice--reflect both classic studies of the criminal court system and state-of-the-art research, and often with a policy perspective that makes them more applied, less theoretical, and more interesting to both undergraduate and graduate students.
