Cole and Smith's classic best-seller, commonly referred to as "The Eagle," helps students discover the meaning of justice in our society and identify the roles individuals play in the criminal justice system. Examining criminal justice as an interdisciplinary endeavor, THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE presents elements from criminology, sociology, law, history, psychology, and political science, and challenges students to balance the mechanics of the system with its human components. It presents a relevant introduction to the field with solid scholarship and approachable writing, and holds student attention with current and compelling events, all of which help prepare students to participate in the system as citizens and future criminal justice practitioners.
