Reviewers praise the book's crisp, clear topic coverage as much as engaging magazine-style design and captivating writing, which combine to draw students--even today's visual learners--into the material.
"CJ and Technology" coverage, while easily identifiable, is integrated into the narrative so students are less likely to skip over technological innovations that are crucial to today's criminal justice system. Examples include the use of biometrics in police work, the use of transdermal alcohol testing, and the future of fingerprinting.
Each chapter helps sharpen students' writing and critical thinking skills. This feature introduces students to a controversial topic from the chapter and provides them with "for" and "against" arguments for the topic. Using information they've gleaned from the chapter, students are asked to give their opinion is essay form.
This text has an integrated Learning Objectives system aimed at helping students succeed. Each chapter opens with a set of Learning Objectives that guides students to the most important concepts as they read the chapter. Within the margins of the chapter, Learning Objective icons (LO) are placed alongside sections of the text that match that objective. The chapter concludes with the Chapter Summary, which repeats each Learning Objective and then responds with a short summary paragraph.
