This book presents a realistic and illuminating integration of the conceptual, empirical, and normative aspects of ethical issues in criminal justice. More than being a collection of studies of how ethical theorizing can apply to criminal justice contexts, the Handbook will explicate the ethically significant and problematic aspects of criminal justice.

"The timing could not be more appropriate for a wide-ranging and sophisticated discussion of ethics in criminal justice. With its stellar line-up of contributors addressing the most pressing normative debates in the field, The Routledge Handbook of Criminal Justice Ethics is easily the decade's most important new handbook among an increasingly crowded field in criminal justice research.
