Investigating Difference examines the full range of individual differences across the entire criminal justice
system. Moving beyond just race and gender, it tackles differences based on experience, age, socio-economic class,
disabilities and more. Written by a variety of leaders in the field, it looks at how these variances impact all
people within the system, including victims, offenders, and service providers. This edition continues to emphasize
positive solutions and includes new "case-in-point" illustrations that discuss how difference matters. For anyone
interested in the criminal justice system with regard to diversity and multicultural issues.
