About the Author
Larry J. Siegel was born in the Bronx in 1947. While attending City College of New York in the 1960s, he was swept up in the social and political currents of the time. He became intrigued with the influence contemporary culture had on individual behavior: Did people shape society or did society shape people? He applied his interest in social forces and human behavior to the study of crime and justice. After graduating CCNY, he attended the newly opened program in criminal justice at the State University of New York at Albany, earning both his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees there. After completing his graduate work, Dr. Siegel began his teaching career at Northeastern University, where he was a faculty member for nine years. After leaving Northeastern, he held teaching positions at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. He is currently a professor at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Dr. Siegel has written extensively in the area of crime and justice, including books on juvenile law, delinquency, criminology, and criminal procedure. He is a court certified expert on police conduct and has testified in numerous legal cases. The father of four and grandfather of two, Larry Siegel and his wife Terry now reside in Bedford, New Hampshire with their two cockapoos, Watson and Cody.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Joseph J. Senna graduated from Brooklyn College, Fordham University Graduate School Service, and Suffolk University Law School.

His academic specialties include the areas of Criminal Law, Constitutional Due Process, Criminal Justice, and Juvenile Law. Mr. Senna lives with his wife and sons outside of Boston. He is currently working on a criminal law textbook.

Great intro material.,

This review is from: Essentials of Criminal Justice With Infotrac (Paperback)
Forget what other people are saying. This book is meant to give the reader an introduction to the field of criminal justice. I don't know what the other readers were expecting. If they want more depth just buy a specialized book on criminology. This book is great if you are looking for something to guide you in the field, or if you take an intro class in college or high school.
4.0 out of 5 stars
