Law and Criminal Justice: Emerging Issues in the Twenty-First Century

Christopher E. Smith,Madhavi M. McCall,Cynthia Perez Mccluskey,David A Schultz,Christina Dejong

Law changes as new developments affect society. The dawn of a new century provides a marking point for the evaluation of trends in law and policy. This book examines emerging issues that will shape society’s rules and legal processes in the twenty-first century. By identifying developments affecting technology, demography, and politics, the authors evaluate impacts on law and criminal justice. Many of the issues discussed, including the expanding Latino population, new technologies for investigations, weapons, and executions, health crises in prisons, DNA testing, and the war on terrorism, will have profound effects on the fates of individuals drawn into the justice system.
