Description

Douds presents a thorough and evidence-based approach to criminal justice reform, highlighting how policing practices can disproportionately affect individuals based on race, economic class, gender, and age.

Chapter 1 outlines the criminal justice process relevant to law enforcement activities before arraignment, while Chapter 2 explores the history of reform efforts in the United States. Subsequent chapters each use a recent national news story to introduce the background and history of a policing issue, followed by an analysis of current law and policy, research findings on necessary reforms, and actionable items for students, including discussion questions and low, moderate, and high-level engagement ideas.
