Ethical Dilemmas and Decisions in Criminal Justice

Summary

Designed to introduce your students to ethical decision-making in the criminal justice system, ETHICAL DILEMMAS AND DECISIONS IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE offers comprehensive coverage of the three arms of the criminal justice system: the police, the courts, and corrections.
