New Criminal Justice

<p>Criminal Justice in the United States is in the midst of momentous changes: an era of low crime rates not seen since the 1960s and a variety of budget crunches also exerting profound impacts on the system. This is the first book available to chronicle these changes and suggest a new emerging model to the Criminal Justice system emphasizing:</p><ul> <p> </p> <li>collaboration across agencies previously viewed as relatively autonomous</li> <p> </p> <li>a focus on location problems and local solutions rather than a widely shared understanding of crime or broad application of similar interventions</li> <p> </p> <li>a deep commitment to research which guides problem assessment and policy formulation and intervention.</li> </ul><p>Ideal for use in graduate as well as undergraduate capstone courses.</p>
