Review
2 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Informative but unorganized.By Joey WheelerOne of the worst college textbooks I have had. The author is obviously an intelligent person and has done a tremendous amount of research on the subject; but this textbook is a poorly organized and difficult to follow. The author will begin a chapter with an overview of a nations government and spend 12-15 lengthy pages about the history of the government; the history of certain criminal justice systems; the history of courts; etc. Then the chapter turns to each subsystem of the criminal justice system and offers a more in-depth history in tandem with the subsystems current organization. Because of this; there is a tremendous amount of repetition. There is also more focus on history; the reason why the criminal justice system evolved as it did; and the "feelings and will of the people" that influenced that evolution; than there is an actual description of the subsystem is organized and functions currently. Often times the author will reference a rather obscure passage in the opening explanation of the government in a chapter many times later; but the passage was so obscure that it literally takes re-reading the entire opening again to find it. Again; the book is chock full of information; much of which I found to be quite interesting. The execution and organization leaves a lot to be desired; though.
