This concise but thorough introductory textbook bridges the gap between theory and the real world of crime and criminal justice.

Building on the basics covered in the first edition, this revised and updated edition: Uses real-world examples to illustrate theory; discusses cutting-edge crime prevention strategies; highlights the impact of crime on both victims and offenders; addresses the challenges of homeland security for local police; and reflects the impact of changing criminal law on the criminal justice system.
