Contemporary Criminology and Criminal Justice Theory: Evaluating Justice Systems in Capitalist Societies (repost)

Geoffrey R. Skoll, "Contemporary Criminology and Criminal Justice Theory: Evaluating Justice Systems in Capitalist Societies"
P,.,.ve Ma,..illan | 2009 | ISBN: 0230615988 | 244 pages | PDF | 1 MB

2.3 million people are imprisoned in the United States, a burgeoning prison industry is emerging, and the mainstream population is subject to searches and surveillance of every kind technologically imaginable. The U.S. has not solved the crime problem, and theoretical explanations continue to be mired in fifty year old understandings of criminal justice. This book casts a critical eye on scholarship in the field of criminal justice, and offers some new orientations to help develop explanations for twenty-first century criminology and criminal justice studies.
