Toward Justice

<p>Designed as a text for Criminal Justice and Criminology capstone courses, <i>Toward Justice </i>encourages students to engage critically with conceptions of justice that go beyond the criminal justice system, in order to cultivate a more thorough understanding of the system as it operates on the ground in an imperfect world—where people aren’t always rational actors, where individual cases are linked to larger social problems, and where justice can sometimes slip through the cracks. Through a combined focus on content and professional development, <i>Toward Justice </i>helps students translate what they have learned in the classroom into active strategies for justice in their professional lives—preparing them for careers that will not simply maintain the status quo and stability that exists within our justice system, but rather challenge the system to achieve justice.</p> <p>Part One: Understanding Justice</p><p>Chapter 1: Defining Justice </p><p>Selected Readings</p><p>Chapter 2: Gaps in Justice</p><p>Selected Readings</p><p>Chapter 3: Justice, Privilege, and Identity</p><p>Selected Readings </p><p>Part Two: Locating Justice in Criminal Justice</p><p>Chapter 4: Ideology in Criminal Justice </p><p>Selected Readings</p><p>Chapter 5: Injustice in Criminal Justice </p><p>Selected Readings </p><p>Chapter 6: Linking Theory, Research, and Policy </p><p>Selected Readings </p><p>Part Three: Creating Justice</p><p>Chapter 7: Writing and Speaking for Justice </p><p>Selected Readings</p><p>Chapter 8: Working in Criminal Justice </p><p>Selected Readings</p><p>Chapter 9: Translating Justice into Practice </p><p>Selected Readings</p>
