Download or read book North Carolina s Criminal Justice System written by Paul Knepper and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many students learn about criminal justice from introductory texts that are crowded with descriptions of criminal justice systems across the country in an attempt to reach a national market. Examples of police departments, court structures, and corrections agencies are drawn from major urban areas that bear little resemblance to the majority of jurisdictions within North Carolina. These texts contain current events of major media interest but not those most relevant to North Carolina. The majority of graduates from colleges and universities in North Carolina with criminal justice degrees will work in North Carolina's criminal justice system, yet the typical curriculum provides very little information about that particular system. North Carolina's Criminal Justice System surveys criminal justice in the state, including crime patterns and trends, the state constitution, state and local lawmaking, prosecution and defense, police agencies, court structure and criminal procedure, corrections, juvenile justice, and victim services. The book also covers the presence of federal law enforcement in North Carolina. Knepper explains how each aspect of North Carolina's system developed as it did, and how North Carolina's system developed as it did, and how North Carolina's institutions and practices compare with the rest of the nation. It also charts African-American firsts, from the first black correctional administrator to the first black justice on the state supreme court. North Carolina's Criminal Justice System provides essential information for anyone planning a career in the state's criminal justice system, and for professionals currently working within an agency who could benefit from an understanding of related agencies and services. It is specifically designed to provide NC criminal justice students with essential knowledge of the state's system. The book can be used as a main text or as a supplement. A teacher's manual is also available.

Download or read book Public Opinion Crime And Criminal Justice written by Julian Roberts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking on one of the most popular issues of the day—crime and the way we make sense of it—Julian Roberts and Loretta Stalans reveal the mismatch between the public perception of crime and the reality of crime statistics. Discussing such issues as public knowledge of crime, sources of crime information, information processing by the public, public attitudes about crime, and the effectiveness of punishment, this book considers the role that public opinion plays in the politics of criminal justice issues. Based on extensive data from the United States, with comparisons with Canada and the United Kingdom, Roberts and Stalans reveal the truth behind how the public perceives crime and how this perception compares to actual criminal activity.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research study examines whether citizens of North Carolina perceive the existence of discrimination in the treatment of suspects by law enforcement officers. The study was undertaken to ascertain the factors which characterize persons who believe that law enforcement officers treat certain suspects differently than others versus people who do not believe differential treatment exists. Previous research has acknowledged that it is of equal importance to study public perceptions of bias in the criminal justice system as to study whether bias actually exists. As such, this study does not attempt to determine if discrimination actually occurs, but rather what the public perceives as occurring in the criminal justice system. To study the factors influencing perceptions three models, proposed in previous research, were tested to explain differential attitudes: conflict theory, attitude consistency theory, and ecological theory. Additionally, a combined model including the components of each theory was tested. The three models were analyzed based on data collected from samples of North Carolina residents in 1997, 1999, and 2001. The findings suggest that none of the three models adequately explains differing perceptions. Furthermore, the model with the greatest explanatory ability was the combined model, thereby indicating that perceptions are multidimensional and a single theoretical explanation is insufficient. Based on the research findings, several policy implications were identified: Policymakers must recognize the interdependence of the elements that compose the criminal justice system. Policymakers must recognize the need to close the gap between the public's perception of discrimination and reality. Policymakers must recognize the disparity in public opinion of specific segments of the population. Policymakers must recognize the importance of positive public opinion to the success of policing initiatives.
