Volume 2 discusses crime victims, policing, crime laboratories, criminal courts, corrections military and Native American justice, juvenile justice and children's rights, school violence, moral and religious influences, economic and social effects of crime, race and ethnicity, and media.  --Reviewed by Blanche Woolls, Oneota Reading Journal, September 2005

This almanac on Crime and Punishment in America provides an extensive chronology of significant developments in the justice system in the United States from the 1800's to the Early 2000's.  It includes information on specific crimes, the effects on society, significant events in the judicial system, the criminal correction system and media portrayals and reporting.  This reference should provide students with quick and easy to find information on criminals and events in American history.  --Pennsylvania School Librarians Associations, May 2006
