An unbiased examination of profiling in the criminal justice system—one of the most hotly contested public policy issues—on the streets, in the courts, and in the jails and prisons of America. In the post-9/11 world, profiling by law enforcement has become "standard operating procedure." Profiling by prosecutors, judges, and corrections officers is pervasive in other criminal justice contexts as well. Is profiling actually effective in preventing crime or identifying likely offenders and therefore justifiable? This accessible, single-volume reference book examines profiling as it pertains to the criminal justice system in the United States, providing non-partisan information that illumin...
Today’s headlines vividly illustrate the importance of understanding aspects of the criminal justice system too often ignored. While the second edition of Crime and Criminal Justice in American Society includes the most recent statistics on the police, courts, and corrections, its provocative, current examples also spur critical thinking about justice in the United States.

Wickford is a product of the last 150 years. It is a town that has grown in population from around 600 in 1901 to 30,000 today. On the other hand people have lived here for thousands of years. Wickford was a centre for the Roman army. It was important enough to be mentioned in Domesday book. Flooding was frequent and health was poor. A mainly agricultural community, it did not go untouched by the religious and political upheavals that affected the nation. Within hailing distance of the 14th century revolt against the king, in the 20th century its nearness to London put it in the way of bombing raids in the Second World War. It was also the home of the Darby Digger, a 20 ton machine that moved like a crab. The expansion of London and the coming of the railway changed it from a rural village, to a frontier shanty town, to a thriving commuter suburb. This book attempts to outline and explain the growth of this typical suburban town, through the study of documents, maps, photographs and the memories of the people of Wickford.
