Introduction Criminal Justice 2011 by James A. Fagin provides both instructor and student with a comprehensive overview of today’s criminal justice system, as well as tackling controversial issues it faces. Fagin’s new text is unequivocally on top of current societal issues confronting the criminal justice system. For example, he has added a new chapter devoted to Homeland Security concerns facing law enforcement agencies today, from terrorism to border security. Fagin clearly examines the contemporary political environment that challenges our civil liberties, in the face of providing greater national security. This text provides a solid foundation for understanding the criminal justice system with a clear and concise presentation. Moreover, students will benefit from the reinforcement of learning objectives through the use of key terms, illustrations, compelling data, and most importantly the affordability of such a comprehensive product. The Instructor’s Manual that accompanies the text focuses to aid the instructor as a resource in both teaching student learning. Each chapter in the Instructor’s Manual is an accompaniment to each chapter of the textbook. The Instructor’s Manual is a useful instrument for preparing assignment, engaging students in classroom discussion, and providing resources for further information for written assignments and quizzes. Each of the chapters in the Instructor’s Manual has been arranged with the following:
1. Chapter Outline 2. Learning Objectives 3. Key Terms 4. Chapter Summary 5. Suggested Classroom Activities 6. Media to Explore
Chapter Outline The chapter outline delineates the major section headings within each chapter of the text.

Learning Objectives This section provides a list of the learning objectives for each chapter. The objectives listed here are the same as the core concepts established in the text book.
Key Terms A vocabulary review is provided here for key terms, including their definition and accompanying page number.
Chapter Summary A brief narrative of each chapter’s main points is reviewed in this segment.
Suggested Classroom Activities Here you will find suggested activities to assign as homework, extra credit, or a research assignment. These topics are designed to engage the student and promote comprehensive learning.
Media to Explore At the end of each chapter there are suggested Web Links to visit that transmit information to expound upon subject matter already discussed in each chapter. Immediately following the Instructor’s Manual is a series of test questions pertaining to each individual chapter. The test item bank contains multiple choice, true-or-false, and fill-in- theblank questions for each chapter. Additionally, this manual includes a sample syllabus for a traditional 16 week course. Should an instructor be teaching in a five or six week course in an accelerated semester format, the framework of the sample syllabus is easily designed for such adaptation. I hope that this Instructor’s Manual will provide both you and your students with numerous options to create a stimulating learning environment. More importantly, this manual

should not only serve your instructional needs, but also facilitate your students’ intellectual pursuit of criminal justice studies.
