Summary:

This book explores twenty-five facts about crime and criminal justice that the author has learned in his quarter century of working in the fields of criminology and criminal justice. The book lays out each fact, one at a time, and then presents research in support of that fact. The facts pertain to issues of crime, justice, policing, courts, corrections, the drug war, and the death penalty. Though the book is scholarly in nature, it is written for the layperson and novice student. Using humor where appropriate, but also utilizing a "tell it like it is" approach, the book will captivate readers and keep their attention throughout. This book will be occasionally funny, as well as consistently interesting, timely, and engaging.
