Fundamentals of American Criminal Justice (LibreTexts OER) introduces crime, deviance, and lawmaking (interactionist, consensus, conflict). It overviews policing, courts, and corrections, plus due process vs. crime control, case flow, media influence, victims, and crime types. It explains measuring crime (dark figure, UCR/NIBRS, NCVS, self-reports), criminal law and punishment, policy and evidence-based practice, criminological theory, community corrections, and juvenile justice.
