Experience Criminal Justice / Edition 1

by James A. Inciardi, Nicole Hendrix

Overview

Experience Criminal Justice provides an environment for students to apply the foundations of the Criminal Justice system to interactive and assignable activities online. Students will read about the foundations of Courts, Cops, and Corrections in the streamlined, brief text, and then apply those foundations online as they use their own discretionary skills in You Make the Call videos and other online activities. Should officers issue a ticket to every single person who gets caught speeding? Students find out how to make their own decisions and learn that the Criminal Justice system isn’t all black and white. Experience Criminal Justice is assignable, tied to student learning outcomes, and is completely integrated with Blackboard.

Nicole Hendrix is an Associate Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at Radford University, where she teaches introduction to criminal justice, among other courses. Dr. Hendrix completed her undergraduate and master’s degrees at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, where her love of exploring crime and justice grew from several projects that emphasized academic and applied research. Dr. Hendrix went on to earn her PhD in Criminal Justice from the University at Albany-SUNY, where she worked on numerous research projects, including the Rochester Youth Development Study. Much of her work reflects her belief that building bridges between academia and professional criminal justice results in the best outcomes for communities.
