A Unified Theory of Justice and Crime

Justice That Love Gives

By: Michael J. DeValve,Tammy S. Garland,Elizabeth Q. Wright

Despite great effort and some improvements, criminal justice today still seems like an oxymoron. There are some very good reasons for this feeling: catastrophic failures abound and marginal improvements appear revolutionary. This book addresses the idea of justice in order to guide society toward a more effective justice system. Specifically, the authors argue that justice and love are one and the same thing. They trace impoverished and accomplished thinking in criminological and justice discourses and show that the historic ills that have plagued humanity tend to evaporate when justice and love are understood to be synonyms.

Statistical Analyses for Criminal Justice and Criminology

A Conceptual Introduction

By: Michael J. DeValve

This book is a how-to guide on statistical analyses designed for undergraduates and others new to the subject. It uses a conceptual framework, starting with the most basic concepts of statistics and moving up through the capacity to perform bivariate regression. Written in an easy-going and clear style, it uses policing data to illustrate concepts. Easily identified Main Take-Aways and Key Terms features aid student understanding. Designed to combat the fear of mathematics and statistics often held by students in the social sciences, plain verbiage, multiple examples, and clear demonstrations combine to achieve the actualization and proper contextualized use of univariate and bivariate statistics. This work also serves as a launching pad for further study in statistics. As an accessible introduction to statistics in criminal justice and criminology, this text will appeal to both students and instructors in introductory criminal justice and criminology statistics courses.

Personal Ethics and Ordinary Heroes

The Social Context of Morality

By: Michael J. DeValve,Michael C. Braswell

Personal Ethics and Ordinary Heroes: The Social Context of Morality examines what it means to be an authentic hero and provides real-life narratives that underscore the ethical principles guiding decision-making in the justice system and beyond. This engaging work revolves around a collection of excerpts from students studying ethics and social justice. The essays were responses to an invitation to write about and discuss a hero in their lives who motivated them to be more just, compassionate and morally responsible persons. These essays, collected over several years, portray shared meanings of heroism rooted in themes like sacrifice, perseverance and wisdom. The authors set student narratives in dialogues related to ethics and leadership that are both entertaining and useful for contemporary students and practitioners. This book illustrates the lessons of ethics in criminal and social justice practice and makes them tangible to students. Fostering the benefits of experiential learning, it brings real meaning to students of criminal justice as well as professionals in the criminal justice field and other areas of human and social service practice. It is an essential accompaniment to primary texts used in ethics courses and training seminars. This book is intended for use in undergraduate classes in applied human sciences and services like criminal justice, criminology, social work and political science. It is particularly well-suited for classes in the areas of ethics, organizations and administration, and leadership. It is also worthwhile reading for the active justice practitioner.
