The goal of Forensic Criminologist Meets Career Criminal: Failure in the American Justice System is manifold. First, the effort will educate on the angst and tasks faced by victim families when a loved one has been killed by a criminal. Second, the book highlights the imbroglios faced when attempting to garner research information via open records, court documents, police reports, corrections reports, district attorney files, and interviews. Third, a career criminal is examined. Lastly, the failures of the criminal justice system are emphasized along with lessons learned and indicates ways for solving the problems.
While academics and professionals will garner new insights from a very personal account and examination, laymen may use this book to educate themselves as they attempt to negotiate the criminal and civil justice systems.
