There has never been a more important time for those involved in criminal justice policy, operations and civil service to know their history. The Historical Dictionary of American Criminal Justice provides a comprehensive overview of the development of criminal justice in the United States. Criminal justice is a multidisciplinary endeavor, emerging across time and place through the fields of philosophy, law, biology, anthropology, and sociology. Developments occur quickly and regularly, the meanings of which are deeply embedded, not only in an historical context, but in complicated social, economic, and political circumstances as well. The field is particularly vulnerable to the exploitations of power being as closely aligned with the forces of social control as it is.
The Historical Dictionary of American Criminal Justice contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 1,200 cross-referenced entries on the most relevant concepts, cases, people, and terms. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about American criminal justice.

Superior fonts, line spacing, and alphabetized entries offer navigational signposts for piloting through copious data. This format offers easy access, and a concise, reader-friendly writing style. Contributing experts sustain balance and equilibrium in the midst of terminology murkiness that accompanies complex legal issues. This dictionary is an important learning tool and authoritative reference book. Public, high school, and university acquisition decision-makers should consider including the dictionary among traditional reference collections.—Thomas E. Baker
