It's good Olivia Dodson This was assigned for a Liberty University, advanced Criminal Justice class. It's easy to read, and interesting.. Excellent overview Dennis Fraley This is an easy to read and informative book for anyone interested in the criminal justice system in America. It guides you from initial charges against the individual, through trial and to post conviction. I highly recommend this text for laymen or students.. "Great Buy" according to Mrs. Parks. This book was a great buy at a great price. The CD-ROM has been a great asset and has made it easy to find out information about cases related to the amendments. This is a book that I will keep around to use as a reference.
