Current Legal Issues in Criminal Justice by Craig Hemmens

Current Legal Issues in Criminal Justice by Craig Hemmens

Timely and topical, Current Legal Issues in Criminal Justice is a collection of in-depth essays on "hot-button" issues. The contributors--renowned scholars who have taught criminal justice and written extensively on legal issues--approach their material from both legal and sociological perspectives in order to give students a more nuanced understanding
of each topic. Short, framing introductions preface each article and put the material in context, and critical-thinking questions follow each chapter. Written in accessible and jargonfree--but not "dumbed-down"--language, this text investigates such relevant topics as gun control, racial profiling, private prisons, medical marijuana, surveillance technology, juvenile waiver laws, inmate litigation, drug testing, the death penalty, sex offender registration, and confessions and interrogations law.

Craig Hemmens is the Chair and Professor of Washington State University's Department of Criminal Justice and Criminology. On a variety of criminal justice-related themes, he has authored twenty books and over two hundred essays and other manuscripts. Criminal procedure and Bruce Springsteen are two of his main scholarly interests. He is the founder and current editor of the Journal of Criminal Justice and Law, as well as the Criminal Law Bulletin.
