Engaging and accessible, Exploring Criminal Justice introduces students to the realities of criminal justice in today's world. Drawing on case studies, media myths, and current controversies, Rick Ruddell critically examines the organization and function of the criminal justice system and the individuals, social values, and legal systems that shape these institutions. With extensive updates throughout―including the chapter on Youth Justice appearing in-text and a new chapter on Victimology online―this second edition encourages students to thoughtfully question and assess the forces shaping criminal justice in Canada today.
