Summary:

"Criminal (In)Justice: A Critical Introduction examines the American criminal justice system and the social forces that shape it. Using a conversational voice, the book engages readers and challenges them to consider the structural inequalities in the criminal justice system as well as in the broader society it is designed to protect, then ask, "What can I do to make this better?". Author Aaron Fichtelberg uses a unique, critical perspective to encourage students to look closer at the intersection of race, class, gender, and inequality in the criminal justice system. Covering each of the foundational areas of the criminal justice system-policing, courts, and corrections-this 3rd edition continues to push the reader to challenge the status quo and the marginalization of people of color, as well as to lean into the ability to apply discretion within the criminal justice system. It encourages the reader to develop their own informed perspective on the criminal justice system"-- Provided by publisher.
