Roth begins with a discussion of system's roots in the ancient world and Great Britain and carries the narrative all the way through the 21st Century and the impact of terrorism and white collar crime on today's criminal justice institutions. Written by a historian and criminologist, the text goes in depth to demonstrate how history has shaped the present criminal justice system and how it affects public policy being established today. It offers intriguing insight into the people - such as Robert F. Kennedy and J. Edgar Hoover - and events - like the Innocence Project - that impacted the evolution of the American system. In addition to its thorough coverage of history, the second edition explores the issues challenging today's system, such as Ponzi schemes, medical marijuana, the Second Chance Act, faith-based initiatives, prison gangs, and much more. Covering criminal justice both chronologically and topically, "Crime and Punishment" couples recent trends with historical analysis to equip readers with a thorough understanding of today's criminal justice system.目录PREFACE. 1.
