This student-friendly introductory core text describes the criminal justice process in the United States - outlining
the decisions, practices, people and issues involved. It provides a solid introduction to the mechanisms of the
criminal justice system, with balanced coverage of the issues presented by each facet of the process, including
a thorough review of practices and controversies in law enforcement, the criminal courts and corrections. Each
chapter is enhanced by important terms, boxes, photos, and review questions. It includes a glossary. The volumes
in this series include contemporary techniques significant to a particular branch of neuroscience. They are an
invaluable aid to the student as well as the experienced researcher not only in developing protocols in neuroscience
but in disciplines where research is becoming closely related to neuroscience. Each volume of Methods in Neurosciences
contains an index, and each chapter includes references. Dr. Conn became Editor-in-Chief of the series beginning
with Volume 15, so each subsequent volume could be guest-edited by an expert in that specific field. This further
strengthens the depth of coverage in Methods in Neurosciences for students and researchers alike.
