I looked for a book like this for a long time... The writing style is accessible to undergraduates and flows logically. I think the photos, figures, and graphs, add to overall readability and student interest. It is excellent material overall. -Timothy Elkin, Ferris State University This text is a comprehensive overview of the importance of multiculturalism when working in the criminal justice system. It supplies the historical relevance and sociological influence on criminal justice... It is the most thought out, comprehensive text I've seen on the topic of Multiculturalism and the Criminal Justice System. -Mathilda Spencer, California University of Pennsylvania
