Praise for this book
This is a fine, current, reasonably priced resource, accomplishing what it sets out to do. Although it will be especially useful in academic libraries, public libraries needing a one-volume work on criminal justice will also find it valuable.
This is the finest one-volume dictionary for American criminal justice and relevant landmark U.S. Supreme Court cases. The material is so well written and presented that it is an essential purchase for public, college, and university libraries.
The new edition of this resource for students, practitioners, and others who need access to criminal justice information contains 125 new U.S. Supreme Court cases, as well as over 5000 terms, concepts, and names. Champion...uses an interdisciplinary approach, pulling together key terms and concepts from diverse areas and illustrating how the terms apply in particular contexts. Following the Terms Section, there is an alphabetized and indexed section in which the most recent and significant Supreme Court cases are summarized - highlight major facts, holdings, and rationales. An innovative feature of these listings is the full citation, including the first and last names of parties, organizations, or boards.
