Great Overall Look Into CJ 
I, and my classmates, really enjoyed this book. It's a great introduction to the varied areas within the Criminal Justice field. Well written with many interesting sideboxes on different ideas and issues. The accompanying website was also very illuminative :)

One of the Finest Texts on the Subject.
I just started teaching a new criminal justice survey course where this text is required for the students. After reading it I have to say it is one of the best course-books on the subject that I have read or taught from.
Comprehensive at 750+ pages including many full color plates and an interactive CD-ROM. Topics include everything conventional (civics, criminal law & criminal procedure) as well as many current event criminal justice concepts including law enforcement cultural approaches to alternative religions like Santeria, the arrest of celebrities such as Courtney Love, and even distinguishing placement in the criminal justice hierarchy for "bounty hunters" such as Duane "Dog" Chapman.
I love it! Informative and instructional. Again, one of the best. Five stars.
