New To This Edition

Focus on terrorism and homeland security. Since the last edition, the events of September 11, 2001, have created major changes in criminal justice, especially at the federal level. Those changes are reflected in all the relevant chapters (see the next bullet).
Extensively revised chapters. Chapter 5, “The History and Structure of America Law Enforcement” now features coverage of terrorism, the Department of Homeland Security, federal law enforcement personnel and their training, private security, and more. Chapter 6, “Policing: Roles, Styles, and Functions,” includes new detailed coverage of drug enforcement, terrorism and homeland security, and crime mapping.
Coverage of some of today’s highest-profile criminal investigations and cases. From MCI/WorldCom to Kobe Bryant and Winona Rider to Richard Reid (the “Shoe Bomber") and John Geoghan (the “Pedophile Priest”), this edition addresses numerous new cases and features expanded discussion of some of today’s most pressing issues in criminal justice.
New material. Chapter 4 now discusses Barry Scheck’s Innocence Project as well as Kyllo v. United States, United States v. Marion, Scott v. Illinois, and Alabama v. Shelton; Chapter 8 features a discussion of the nation’s first “collections court” as well as indigent defense systems, caseflow management, forfeiture of bonds and absconders, and hung juries; Chapter 10 includes new material on mentally ill prisoners, private correctional facilities, and the populations, functions, architecture, and management of jails; Chapter 12 discusses special conditions of probation, parole recidivism, home confinement, and electronic monitoring; Chapter 14 includes major new material on identity theft, transnational organized crime, and criminal justice in the age of terror.
New visuals and vignettes. A wealth of new photographs and chapter-opening vignettes further engage and motivate readers; redesigned and updated tables and figures highlight and amplify the text coverage.
