Criminology & Criminal Justice

The New Criminal Justice, Book of the Month, September 2010

The New Criminal Justice, edited by John Klofas, (Rochester Institute of Technology,) Natalie Kroovand Hipple and Edmund McGarrell (both Michigan State University) is an ideal text for both graduate and undergraduate courses in Criminal Justice.

A new addition to the Criminology and Justice Studies series, The New Criminal Justice comes at a time when Criminal Justice in the United States is in the midst of momentous changes. Crime rates are the lowest 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:

Collaboration across agencies previously viewed as relatively autonomous
A focus on location problems and local solutions rather than a widely shared understanding of crime or broad application of similar interventions
A deep commitment to research which guides problem assessment and policy formulation and intervention
