History of Criminal Justice, Fourth Edition - Softcover
Covering criminal justice history on a cross-national basis, this book surveys criminal justice in Western civilization and American life chronologically from ancient times to the present. It is an introduction to the historical problems of crime, law enforcement and penology, set against the background of major historical events and movements.
Integrating criminal justice history into the scope of European, British, French and American history, this text provides the opportunity for comparisons of crime and punishment over boundaries of national histories. The text now concludes with a chapter that addresses terrorism and homeland security.
- Each chapter enhanced with supplemental boxes: "timeline," "time capsule," and "featured outlaw."
- Chapters also contain discussion questions, notes and problems.
