Essentials of Criminal Justice 8th Edition, Siegel


Essentials of Criminal Justice 8th Edition PDF Download Ebook. Larry J. Siegel offers cutting-edge high-profile cases, current research, detailed career information, and unique myth-busting theme. This book equips you with a solid understanding of the modern criminal justice system.

The text's myth-busting "RealityCheck" theme meets the challenge head on, helping students replace the fiction they've seen on television or the Internet with a solid understanding of the realities of the criminal justice system. Chapter-opening "RealityCheck" statements highlight common misperceptions about crime and the American criminal justice system. Throughout the chapter, marginal "RealityCheck" insets spotlight where these myths are countered or dispelled. Focus questions encourage critical thinking and discussion.

Providing maximum reinforcement and student success, chapters begin with numbered learning objectives that are carefully matched to end-of-chapter summary sections--as well as linked to the Test Bank, Microsoft® PowerPoint® slides, and corresponding quiz items in the Study Guide and CourseMate Website.

"Ethical Challenges in Criminal Justice" writing assignments included in the text challenge students to confront an ethical dilemma they may someday encounter while working within the justice system. As a result, students get hands-on experience resolving ethical challenges along with much-needed writing practice.

High-impact "Careers in Criminal Justice" part openers highlight a variety of careers in the criminal justice system. Each part of the book features a set of careers in the field that is discussed in that part, providing information about basic duties, advantages and disadvantages of the jobs, and firsthand quotes from people who work in criminal justice professions.

All new chapter opening vignettes draw students into the chapter material and help them understand how basic criminal justice concepts and principles evidence themselves in the real world. This textbook provides a perfect blend of criminological theory and criminal justice functions. I would highly recommend this text for an introduction course in criminal justice.
