This primer will be completely different from the usual “intro” textbook in criminal justice. The goal of this textbook is to teach students how to think, not what to think, and to engage ideas about crime and punishment with “a critical eye and a compassionate heart.” Analysis of diverse case studies will enable each student to situate her/himself on a spectrum of values with respect to crime, social harm, punishment and justice, reflecting a moral choice that each person is responsible for making in any situation in life.
