505			_aKey features Comprehensive in nature, the two volumes cover a number of broad thematic areas: basic concepts and theories of criminal justice; the police, courts, and corrections; juvenile justice; public policy; the media; organizations; specific groups and populations; and specific cases and biographies. Specific entries cover such topics as gender, hate/bias crimes, immigrant experiences, international and cross-cultural issues, race and gangs, race and law, and much more. Authoritative coverage is ensured by 380 signed entries with accompanying cross references and bibliographies and suggested readings to guide readers to more in-depth sources and classics in the field. The volumes include experiences of all major racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. (Asians, Blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, Ethnic Whites) as well as religious minorities, such as Muslims. Two appendices provide information on locating and interpreting statistical data on race and crime, as well as detailed instructions on how to access statistical data on the web for such specific areas as arrests, drugs, gang membership, hate crimes, homicide trends, juvenile justice, prison populations, racial profiling, the death penalty, and victimization. Because the topic is of wide interest and relevance, entries have been written in an accessible style to appeal to a wide audience, including not only scholars and students in academic libraries but also a lay audience in public libraries. To maximize access, the encyclopedia is available in both print and electronic versions.
