This 9th edition continue[s] the strong legacy of this book. It is grounded in both its research and its inclusion of recent examples, provocative in its application to the criminal justice process, sobering in the failure of the justice system to apply ethical and moral conditions on too many occasions, and an important book for every criminal justice educator."—Clemens Bartollas, University of Northern Iowa I began to use this book many years ago when searching for a text on ethics and criminal justice. It was one of just a handful of books on the topics. I adopted the book over others because of the content—theory, topics on each area of criminal justice, ease of reading for students. —Gail A. Caputo, Rutgers University Camden Justice, Crime, and Ethics is best among the texts in the market at raising critical questions and presenting information that forces students out of their comfort zones. —Adam Trahan, University of North Texas This text does an excellent job of examining the ethical issues experienced by a broad range of criminal justice professionals. —Jane Lothian Murray, University of Winnipeg
