A Concise Introduction to Criminal Justice meets the demand for a more succinct examination of the criminal justice system in the United States, one that focuses almost exclusively on the police, courts, and corrections. By limiting the topics examined to just the "essentials", instructors can cover its entire contents in a semester and also have the opportunity to supplement the text with other materials. This student-friendly text includes many pedagogical features and is written by a well-respected leader and scholar. Robert Bohm currently teaches Introduction to Criminal Justice and also has practitioner experience.
