Criminal Justice in the United States is a must have from beginner, to law expert. This book touches on aspects of Criminal Law, Terrorism, Gangs, Corrections, Psychology of Crime, Policing Styles, and Juvenile Justice. There are even case studies on famous cases such as the deaths of Notorious B.I.G., Peggy Hettrick, Jon Benet Ramsey, The Lindbergh Baby, Leopold-Loeb and the Coetsville Fires.There is no part of the system that is worse, or better than any other part of the system. According to the Consensus model of criminal justice, "each of the component parts of the criminal justice system strives toward a common goal that a movement of cases and people through the system is smooth due to cooperation between the various components of the system." (Schmalleger, 2015, p. 13).It is the duty of each component of the system to be fair and balanced and follow procedural and Constitutional Laws. Out of the three components of the Criminal Justice System, there is not one individual part that could be "most harmful". It potentially, would not be possible for one part of the system to be more harmful than another.Criminal Justice in the United States is recommended for all American ages 13 and up.
