Now fully revised, Crime, Justice, and Society is designed not only to introduce students to the core issues of criminology, but also to help them think critically about often-sensationalized topics. Features of the fourth edition include:

• A student-friendly, streamlined organization
• Firsthand perspectives from offenders, victims, and criminal justice professionals
• Expanded coverage of white-collar and government crime
• A focus on the dynamics of race, class, and ethnicity
• A chapter on drug-related crime and antidrug laws
• Discussion of topics in the news: marijuana laws, sex trafficking, stand-your-ground policies, and more
• This new edition of a now-classic text-both accessible and sophisticated-will be welcomed by students and instructors alike.
