CJ 2013 (Justice)

CJ 2013 provides a brief and affordable look at the criminal justice system without sacrificing academic rigor. Taking a contemporary approach, it supports true understanding by focusing on the core concepts that matter most. Each chapter features a unified presentation that links learning objectives, text segments, media explorations and end-of-chapter summaries together. MyCJLab offers a cutting-edge media tool that includes videos, simulations, activities, assessments, and course management solutions. Moving beyond rote memorization, the book encourages active participation with conversation-starting pedagogy that involves students with the research findings and current events shaping the field. For the following titles only, we will be offering Point/Counterpoint Videos within MyCJLab for fall 2013 courses: Schmalleger, Criminal Justice Brief 10e Fagin, CJ2013Schmalleger, Criminology Brief 2e What are Point/Counterpoint Videos?
