* Wrongful convictions
* Community policing
* Citizen complaints and problem officers
* Challenges of transnational crime
* Drug courts

* Do juvenile "boot camps" really work?
* Parents and the control of juvenile delinquency
* Addressing female juvenile offenders
* The restorative model of justice
* Explaining changes in crime rates

The text also features helpful synopses of 100 leading justice-related and Supreme Court cases, as well as listings of professional organizations and information sources that focus on the field of criminal justice. Lively discussion questions follow each unit, and a subject index links topics directly to the chapters in which they appear. A completely revised, comprehensive Instructor's Manual/Testing Program is also available in electronic format.
