Perspectives on Crime: An Introduction to Criminal Justice emphasizes three main concepts. The first concept encompasses the idea of decisions made by police officers typically are common sense decisions. These decisions could include writing a ticket, prosecuting a case, or even making an arrest. The second concept explains the unintended consequences that arise when changes are pursued in the criminal justice system. Lastly, the book addresses the idea that theories imply solutions. Favor and bias tends to exist when looking at perspectives on a variety of crimes.
Perspectives on Crime: An Introduction to Criminal Justice takes a disciplined approach on subjects including:
- Every aspect of the criminal justice system: the laws and courts, law enforcement, and corrections
- The science behind criminal justice and the knowledge needed to make an impact in the field
- What needs to be done to assure future success in our criminal justice system
