Overview

Criminal Justice, Science and the Law: A Workbook is a unique online workbook that integrates criminal justice, science, and the law in one concise interdisciplinary story. In a user-friendly and engaging format, the author presents current issues and questions for students to research, and then challenges them to develop answers using the information presented and their own findings.

This workbook revolves around a real-life, but fictionalized story that introduces timely and stimulating issues in criminal justice, science, and law. The story engages students in theory using applied and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the criminal justice system. Because research changes so quickly, incorporating questions that require students to utilize the internet to find answers, keeps the information timely and relevant on current controversies, ethical dilemmas, policies, scientific evidence, and legal questions.

This resource will engage your students and challenge them to be independent in their research and ultimately in their learning. As an instructor, you’ll watch your students progress from passive to active learners!
