Summary
Volume 1 : These 10 papers examine crime patterns and changes in crime and reactions to crime over the past half-century, with emphasis on the ways in which crime and its effects have evolved along with broader structural and cultural changes during this time period and on probable crime developments and trends in the 21st century.
Volume 2 : These eight papers review the state of knowledge about the origins, nature, consequences, and futures of changes in seven criminal justice boundaries over the past century, including increasing privatization and use of civilians in policing, the blurring line between juvenile and adult justice, and changing responses to domestic assault.
Volume 3 : These nine papers review the state of knowledge about issues relating to decision making in criminal justice in the context of policies made by persons both inside and outside the criminal justice system and in the context of emerging processes in policing, courts, and corrections.
Volume 4 : These 12 papers examine methodological debates that have shaped the evolution of research on crime and justice and explore current knowledge, trends, and future directions in the measurement and analysis of crime and the criminal justice system and the consequences of such measurement and analysis for justice processes and research.
