Toward Justice: Broadening the Study of Criminal Justice

Autor Kristi Holsinger, Lori Sexton
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 27 mar 2017
Designed as a text for Criminal Justice and Criminology capstone courses, Toward Justice 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, Toward Justice 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.

Recenzii

There are so many aspects to admire and respect about Toward Justice, including the authors’ clear and engaging coverage of expansive topics, the untangling of seemingly simple concepts such as "justice," the timeliness of such a book, and the remarkable included activities and exercises. But more than anything, I appreciate how Toward Justice provides students with hope, concrete strategies and potential solutions, and with some of the leadership, creativity, and responsibility necessary to advocate for social and legal justice.—Joanne Belknap, Professor of Ethnic Studies, University of Colorado-Boulder
