This concise text teaches readers how to spot and interpret verbal
and nonverbal behaviors of both deceptive and truthful people, and
how to move toward obtaining solid confessions from guilty persons.
Separated into two parts, What You Need to Know About Interrogation
and Employing the Reid Nine Steps of Interrogation, this book will help
readers understand the effective and proper way that a suspect should
be interrogated and the safeguards that should be in place to ensure the
integrity of the confession.
Courtrooms are often lively places, and what occurs in them has a profound impact on the functioning of
our democracy. The American Courts: A Procedural Approach offers readers a thorough understanding
of the United States court system by exploring the procedural aspects of the law. The rules of both
criminal and civil procedure, how they are applied, and their influence on decision-making in the courts
are thoroughly examined. This text is ideal for undergraduate and introductory graduate courses in
criminal justice, legal studies, and government programs.

Media and Criminal Justice: The CSI Effect illustrates how media
coverage and television programs influence the public’s perception of
criminal justice. Fiction is often mistaken for reality, and this phenomenon,
called “The CSI Effect,” adds to the assumption that all criminal cases can
be easily solved through the employment of high-tech forensic science,
as depicted on television crime shows. Over 400 prosecutors assist in
explaining the CSI Effect’s influence, which reinforces America’s troubled
wars on crime, junkies, poverty, and immigrants, and produces a greater
tolerance of official misconduct and an escalation of wrongful convictions.
This text explores common misconceptions and their consequences
and provides readers with the ability to critically analyze information
promoted by the media and entertainment.
Americans know relatively little about the reality of crime and the criminal
justice system in the United States, and most of their knowledge is a loose
collection of haphazardly accumulated truths, half-truths, and outright
falsehoods. The American public’s perception of crime is out of line with
crime reality. One consequence of such misinformation on the prevalence
of violent crime is that many people are more afraid of being the victim of a
violent crime than they realistically should be. Myths and Realities of Crime
and Justice provides readers with an accurate and up-to-date picture of crime
and justice in America. It presents many recent findings from criminologists
and criminal justice practitioners and debunks common misconceptions.
This new text provides a comprehensive analysis of the role that race and
ethnicity play in the American criminal justice system. The concepts of
race and ethnicity will be evaluated with respect to crime, victimization,
policing, courts and sentencing, corrections, and the death penalty. A
statistical overview and theories associated with the current trends are also
explored. Readers will be encouraged to form an opinion on whether or not
injustice based on race and ethnicity is a problem, whether or not the laws
as written are biased, and whether or not people of particular racial/ethnic
backgrounds are prone to commit more crime.

Private Security in the 21st Century informs readers about the historical
development of private security and provides new information for
educating and training private security personnel. Each chapter serves as
a “crash course” on the different security fields. Unlike other textbooks
on private security, this text covers a wide variety of private security jobs
in the field and step-by-step “how to” sections for college learners, trade
school students, private security personnel, law enforcement personnel,
business students, and other individuals who want to learn in a quick
and efficient manner.
Terrorism in America
Dr. Kevin Borgeson, Salem State College, Salem, Massachusetts
Robin Valeri, PhD, St. Bonaventure University
Since the events of September 11, 2001, research has had a tendency to
focus specifically on international terrorism, overlooking the depth of
terrorism on both sides. Terrorism in America looks at issues of both
domestic and international terrorism in the United States. Using existing
FBI data and ethnographic data, this book compares and contrasts
domestic sources of terrorism in the United States to those in other
countries, while also discussing efforts by domestic terrorists to form
alliances with foreign groups. Based on data from interviews, readers
will learn about the fundamental beliefs and motivations of terrorism
groups. Readers are provided with a history of counterterrorism in the
United States, as well as research regarding fear of terrorism and its
impact on individuals and the nation as a whole. Grounded in research
and theory, this comprehensive resource will raise the public’s awareness
and concern about domestic terrorism.
