Strong communication skills are critical to success both as a criminal justice student and as a criminal justice professional. Compelling Criminal Justice Communications motivates and assists criminal justice students to produce dynamic written and oral communications. The book provides comprehensive coverage of the concrete principles involved in the production of compelling writings and briefings about crime. It not only identifies the features of effective communication, but also illustrates exactly how to achieve them. Covering a broad range of academic and professional communications, the book is accompanied by numerous practice exercises.

Arvustused

"This book offers a solid overview of the differences between criminal justice communications and the standard business and technical communications courses that many students take as part of their curriculum. This is the material that local agencies want taught."--Gregory Bridgeman, Lake Sumter State College "Compelling Criminal Justice Communications provides an in-depth examination of the importance of effective communication in criminal justice. It is wonderfully written and interesting."--Julie Coon, Roger Williams University "A major strength of this book is the tone and approach of the writing--it makes students want to learn the skills contained within. The text is logical, easy to follow, and contains information on both oral and written communication. It is persuasive, motivating, and pedagogically sound."--Connie M. Koski, Longwood University
