Sociology : Your Compass for a New World

This balanced, mainstream, beautifully written, and totally up-to-date text is unrivaled in its ability to get students to see the connection between themselves and the social world.

Rights for Victims of Crimes

When the victims of injustice lose faith in their justice system, the crime they've endured cuts only deeper, adding insult to injury. The time has come to face the truth that most victims of crime will not have their needs met and often won't experience our systems of justice as just.
