Summary

This new text provides an overview of the origin and development of the American criminal justice system from the arrival of the first settlers during the Colonial period into the twenty first century.

Each chapter begins with an overview of the political, economic, social and cultural forces that shaped society within each time period. Following the overview, the history of ordinary crime as well as extraordinary high profile criminal acts is examined. This text uses the discussion of historical context and crime as a foundation to describe and analyze the development and impact of police, law, courts, corrections, and juvenile justice.
