The study by Keverline, S. A. (2003), gives insight on how gender plays a role in criminal justice. Typically, criminal justice is a predominately white male field. Yet, during the recent years criminal justice has expanded its professionalism to a variety of backgrounds including women. What makes this study distinguishable from the rest is that it primarily focuses on a single group. It would have been great to see this study or any other study also focus on other minority groups as well.

This book is distinguishable because it highlights important terminology a potential criminal justice major may face. There are similarities between this book and the online book by S., Hess, K. M., & Harr, J. S. 2009; Johnston, C. H. (2014) due to the way it is written because it sets up a theme of preparation. When paired together, the terminology of this book allows some one to be prepared for knowledge exams. It is also similar to the online book by Johnston, C. H. (2014) because both place an emphasis on scenarios which tie into the realities a one will face. For instance, this source talks about the types of crimes and the procedure on how to make an arrest.

The first section talks about court terminology, the second section discusses the types of crimes which can lead to an arrest, and the third section talks about the correctional aspect of criminal justice. All three sections are identifiable as the core practical aspects of criminal justice. This source is helpfully because it allows someone who may not know much of criminal justice to get familiarized with what the type of crimes they will encounter if they choose to go that route.
