American Corrections 

Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice 


Peter J. Conis, PhD, Iowa State University 

This comprehensive resource provides both classic and cutting-edge data on 

correctional topics drawing from the fields of criminology, criminal justice, 

sociology, psychology, government, and public policy. The hallmark of 

American Corrections: Theory, Research, Policy, and Practice is its thesis—

domain, is in theory and practice a system for the management of risk. By 

demonstrating that correctional systems balance public safety with providing 

treatment and supervision to offenders, this text tells the story of corrections 

within a coherent, criminological framework.

Praise for this text: 

This is the CSI text that I, and 

many of my colleges have been

in real crime scenes. 

— Joseph LeFevre, University of 

Wisconsin - Platteville 

An Introduction to Crime Scene Investigation 

Aric W. Dutelle, MFS, Criminal Justice Department, University of Wisconsin-Platteville 

In a world profoundly influenced by

scene investigator responsibilities. The history 

related to crime scene investigation, theory, 

ethics, social impact, training, and educational 

issues are thoroughly explored as well. 

Key Features

supported procedures that explain how to 

accurately and efficiently document what has 

been left behind at the scene of a crime.

through over 100 photographs, illustrations, 

and short narrative segments that will guide 

the reader through investigations.

cases, underwater crime scenes, hazardous 

materials situations, and arson. 

• Offers a pragmatic, critical, and 

multidisciplinary approach for readers 

with little or no background in crime scene 

investigation. 

• “Ripped From the Headlines” Current 

Event Examples: “Real world” incidents 

involving the content are discussed in every 

chapter. This application to “real world” 

situations will enable the reader to better 

grasp the concepts and theories presented. 

• “Case in Point” Examples: In addition to 

current events, there are also case scenarios 

and summations which assist the reader 

in further comprehending the presented 

material. 

• “View from an Expert” Insights: Many 

chapters include these insights from a 

forensic expert within the chapter content 

field. 

• Case Studies: End-of-chapter case studies 

will challenge readers to seek additional 

information from outside sources to assist 

them with a more in-depth comprehension 

of the presented material.

Criminal Investigation 

Third Edition 

Ronald Becker, JD, Chaminade University 

This introductory text takes an integrated 

approach to the investigative process. It explores 

how contributors to criminal investigation—

effective when they understand and appreciate 

their role on the team, what role other team 

members play, and how it all comes together. 

Readers will learn how investigations are 

connected to a team that is much larger than 

those charged with the investigations of a crime. 

The end result is a solid foundation in criminal 

investigation. 

Key Features 

• New information on underwater 

investigations and CSI related topics 

including computer and internet based 

investigations and fingerprinting.

COURTS, LAW, AND PROCEDURE 

From the Preface 

“Although the criminal justice and 

the civil justice ‘systems’ are often 

thought of as separate and unique, 

there is but one institution – the 

American ‘system’ of courts. It has 

a single, central goal, which is to 

do justice. Therefore, this book 

incorporates discussions of both 

criminal and civil matters that 

come before the courts by providing 

a context in which the various 

functions of courts are examined.” 

The American Courts 

A Procedural Approach 

Jeffrey A. Jenkins, JD, EdD, Roger Williams University, Bristol, Rhode Island 

Courtrooms are often lively places, and what occurs in them has a profound impact on the functioning of 

our democracy. The American Courts: A Procedural Approach offers readers a thorough understanding 

of the United States court system by exploring the procedural aspects of the law. The rules of both 

criminal and civil procedure, how they are applied, and their influence on decision-making in the courts 

are thoroughly examined. This text is ideal for undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in 

criminal justice, legal studies, and government programs.

SPECIAL TOPICS 

Media and Criminal Justice 

The CSI Effect 

Dennis J. Stevens, PhD, University of North Carolina—Charlotte, 

Belmont Abbey College 

Media and Criminal Justice: The CSI Effect illustrates how media 

coverage and television programs influence the public’s perception of 

criminal justice. Fiction is often mistaken for reality, and this phenomenon, 

called “The CSI Effect,” adds to the assumption that all criminal cases can 

be easily solved through the employment of high-tech forensic science, 

as depicted on television crime shows. Over 400 prosecutors assist in 

explaining the CSI Effect’s influence, which reinforces America’s troubled 

wars on crime, junkies, poverty, and immigrants, and produces a greater 

tolerance of official misconduct and an escalation of wrongful convictions. 

This text explores common misconceptions and their consequences 

and provides readers with the ability to critically analyze information 

promoted by the media and entertainment. 


Myths and Realities of Crime and Justice 

What Every American Should Know 

Steven E. Barkan, PhD 

George J. Bryjak, PhD 

Americans know relatively little about the reality of crime and the criminal 

justice system in the United States, and most of their knowledge is a loose 

collection of haphazardly accumulated truths, half-truths, and outright 

falsehoods. The American public’s perception of crime is out of line with 

crime reality. One consequence of such misinformation on the prevalence 

of violent crime is that many people are more afraid of being the victim of a 

violent crime than they realistically should be. Myths and Realities of Crime 

and Justice provides readers with an accurate and up-to-date picture of crime 

and justice in America. It presents many recent findings from criminologists 

and criminal justice practitioners and debunks common misconceptions. 


Race, Ethnicity, and the Criminal Justice 

System 

Diane Williams, PhD, North Carolina A&T State University-

This new text provides a comprehensive analysis of the role that race and 

ethnicity play in the American criminal justice system. The concepts of 

race and ethnicity will be evaluated with respect to crime, victimization, 

policing, courts and sentencing, corrections, and the death penalty. A 

statistical overview and theories associated with the current trends are also 

explored. Readers will be encouraged to form an opinion on whether or not 

injustice based on race and ethnicity is a problem, whether or not the laws 

as written are biased, and whether or not people of particular racial/ethnic 

backgrounds are prone to commit more crime.

Dr. Kevin Borgeson, Salem State College, Salem, Massachusetts

domestic sources of terrorism in the United States to those in other 

countries, while also discussing efforts by domestic terrorists to form 

alliances with foreign groups. Based on data from interviews, readers

groups. Readers are provided with a history of counterterrorism in the

impact on individuals and the nation as a whole. Grounded in research 

and theory, this comprehensive resource will raise the public’s awareness 

and concern about domestic terrorism.
