As you study criminal justice today, it's likely that you do not want to simply learn about the world; you want to change it. Gaines/Miller's CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN ACTION, 11E provides a template for that change. This magazine-style presentation focuses on big questions that you've probably already been asking yourself about police tactics, incarceration policies and other major issues in criminal justice. Captivating content, lifted from the latest headlines, and numerous smaller investigations help you better understand how criminal justice in the U.S. impacts everyone. You learn to think critically, ethically and practically about key criminal justice issues. You also gain skills beneficial for a career in criminal justice or any other field, as you actively explore the counterbalancing interests, concepts and theories that characterize today's criminal justice system.
