Criminal Justice Through Science Fiction

Joseph D. Olander

0/5 ( ratings)

From the dust jacket:

"This collection of fascinating stories written by well-known science fiction writers is organized around important themes in the rapidly growing field of criminal justice. The book is divided into three sections: Culture, Community, and Crime; The Criminal Justice Process; and Criminal Justice Outcomes.

"The stories are selected on the basis of the richness of the concepts embodied as well as on the basis of their literary excellence. The contribution of the editors lies in creating a frame of reference for the stories. First, the book contains an introduction discussing basic concepts in criminal justice and the relationship and significance of science fiction to each; second, each story is accompanied by its own introductory note critically appraising its specific concepts.

"Science fiction writers included are Dean R. Koontz, Arthur Porges, J. Francis McComas, Pg Wyal, Alexander B. Malee, T.L. Sherred, Robert Silverberg, Bertram Chandler, Theodore L. Thomas, Henry Kuttner, Cynthia Bunn, Steve Allen, and Hayden Howard."
