Details

This collection provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the American federal criminal justice system. The book unites theoretical notions and advancements in practice, and brings a full picture of the US federal criminal justice system into focus. Chapters are arranged in a logical sequence, with readers first being introduced to the federal criminal justice system and given an overview of federal law enforcement, the most visible and storied sector of federal criminal justice. The introductory chapters are followed by more detailed explorations of federal law enforcement, federal corrections, the federal judiciary and legal processes, and contemporary issues.

This Handbook is essential reading and an authoritative reference for scholars, students, researchers and practitioners of criminal justice, criminology, public policy, and public administration. It is also ideal for use as a text in introductory and advanced survey courses on criminal justice or courses on crime policy.
