Criminal Justice, Sociology, and Academia.

Farrell, Bill; Koch, Larry

American Sociologist, v26 n1 p52-61 Spr 1995

Discusses and criticizes criminal justice's deviation from its roots in sociology and adaptation of a more career-oriented perspective. Maintains that the symbiotic relationship between law enforcement agencies and criminal justice as an academic discipline has corrupted the discipline and inhibited academic inquiry. (MJP)
