College Level Textbook for Criminal Justice 101/102

Written by internationally well-known and highly respected figures in the field, this leading text for the criminology course offered in departments of sociology and criminal justice, is known for its lucid style and particularly strong coverage of international and comparative crime. 
This text is available in two versions, one with, and the other without coverage of the criminal justice system. For schools that retain the traditional criminology course, which includes criminological coverage of criminal justice, Criminology, third edition, is the ideal text. For schools that have expanded their offerings by adding an introductory course in criminal justice, Criminology: The Shorter Version, 3/e, is probably more appropriate. The Shorter Version omits Part IV (A Criminological Approach to the Criminal Justice System).

This brief and inexpensive text is designed to present a concise introduction to America's racial and ethnic groups. The authors combine a general discussion of the sociocultural context of racial and ethnic relations in its beginning section with precisely focused chapters devoted to each of the major racial and ethnic groups in America: African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and White Ethnic Americans. A common framework and the use of common headings allows students to compare and contrast ethnic populations to each other.

Up to date, comprehensive and research based, Adolescence focuses on understanding adolescents' development within the contexts of their environment and social relationships. Professor Steinberg utilizes his expertise as a teacher, researcher and author to produce a text that appeals to professors and students from a variety of disciplines. The fifth edition of Adolescence has been thoroughly updated to reflect current findings in the field of adolescent development. In this edition, the author continues to utilize the effective combination of a friendly writing style, thorough research and a contextual approach that emphasizes adolescence in contemporary society. The text's careful organization ensures maximum teaching flexibility that allows the chapters to work together or stand alone. Ethnicity and minority issues are thoroughly discussed in a way that enables students to see how the adolescent experience is shaped by class and culture. The strong pedagogical framework helps students organize and integrate material. Although Adolescence, 5e is based on solid research and theory, it has a distinctively "real world" feel that emphasizes the reality of being an adolescent in today's society.
