Criminal Justice by John Randolph Fuller
Criminal Justice: A Peacemaking Perspective is an exciting alternative text that enables the instructor to challenge the student to think critically about important criminal justice issues. This text is not just a compilation of criminal justice facts but is a provocative and stimulating book that will enhance classroom discussions and get the student enthusiastic about making the field of criminal justice the focal point of their academic studies and even the goal for their professional careers. In Criminal Justice: A Peacemaking Perspective, Fuller gives a new approach to the traditional method of teaching the introductory course to Criminal Justice. There are three distinctive features to this text that make it unique:
