Essentials of Criminal Justice, 7th Edition
The style and presentation reflects the success of a textbook that has traveled through several iterations to become a tried and true classic introductory text. Any undergraduate student, whether freshman or senior or criminal justice major or not, would find this textbook accessible, informative, and entertaining."This textbook provides a perfect blend of criminological theory and criminal justice functions. I would highly recommend this text for an introduction course in criminal justice."With Siegel's more student-friendly book, I have been able to spend more time doing class activities to allow students to use their new knowledge and less time explaining the material that they should have read before class."Essentials provides a very basic, streamlined, condensed, version of the material. I think it is just right for Intro students.
