Material Detail

A unique approach was employed to the development of this introductory textbook. The resource was co-authored by distinguished scholars, as well as professors and practitioners in criminal justice programs and departments across Washington state. The learning objectives and outcomes are modeled after the work identified by the Criminal Justice Core Curriculum Workgroup conducted under the auspices of the Center for Excellence-Homeland Security Emergency Management, located at Pierce College in Lakewood, WA. The materials in this textbook meet, and in many cases, exceed the learning outcomes outlined by the collaborating colleges supporting pursuit of a community college Associate in Arts and Science or Associate of Science degree programs, or in a community college AAS-T (Direct transfer course of study in Criminal Justice). The materials cover a range of topics not typically found in an introductory course but are crucial for the long-term goal of placing knowledgeable, well-trained entry-level practitioners in all areas of the legal system.
