Today crime has everyone's attention. Far too many stories come forth from friends, media broadcasts, and personal experiences about how people's lives are forever altered by the misguiding and evil actions of others. We are still lacking solid solutions to the crime problem, but experts and laymen alike persist in their attempts to find answers. Many of the most strident efforts to fight crime in America are found in Texas.As criminal justice academicians we strive to teach both theory and practice, but find we often fall short in exciting students about the stunning reality of crime, criminal behavior, and the operations of our system of justice. This book attempts to correct that oversight. The book is divided into five sections: Crime and Punishment; Criminal Investigations; Prosecution and Judgement; Corrections and Punishment; and Issues in Criminal Justice. You will find in these sections stories that will bring shock, dismay, compassion, quandry, and perhaps even anger about the treatment of the victims of crime, the agents of justice, and even the suspected and convicted criminals.
