Foundations of Criminal Justice Policy

$49.99

Criminal justice policy provides the essential architecture for the administration of justice, comprising the principles, rules, and procedures that guide the actions of agencies and their personnel. It operates as the critical bridge between abstract legal statutes and their concrete application in society. A thorough understanding of policy is necessary to analyze how legal authority is exercised and to ensure that the functions of law enforcement, the judiciary, and corrections are performed with consistency, accountability, and legality.
