Capture your students' attention from the first moment of class through the end of your course with Gaines/Miller's CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN ACTION, 11E. This edition's highly praised, magazine-style presentation provides a panoramic view of today's criminal justice system in flux and ready for change. Each chapter begins with a vignette lifted straight from current headlines, while every page depicts real examples of both criminal activity and the criminal justice system’s response. Contemporary content blends with innovative pedagogy, such as clear learning objectives that reinforce students’ understanding of up to ten crucial subjects per chapter. Students also learn to think critically and ethically as they actively engage in the melee of counterbalancing interests, concepts and theories that characterize criminal justice today. Accompanying MindTap digital resources offer short audiocast episodes, career decision-making scenarios, quizzes and riveting mission critical stories to reinforce concepts and techniques.
