Essentials of Criminal Justice 10th Edition by Larry J. Siegel – Test Bank

Larry J. Siegel, Ph.D., hails from the Bronx, New York. During the 1960s, while residing in Jerome Avenue and attending City College (CCNY), he immersed himself in the societal and political currents of that era. He developed an interest in how contemporary culture influenced individual behavior. Delving into the study of crime and justice, he pondered whether society shaped individuals or individuals shaped society. After completing his education at CCNY, he pursued further studies in criminal justice at the State University of New York at Albany, earning both his master’s and doctoral degrees there. Dr. Siegel commenced his teaching career at Northeastern University, where he served on the faculty for nine years. He has also taught at the University of Nebraska at Omaha and Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. For 27 years, he was a key figure at the School of Criminology and Justice Studies at the University of Massachusetts Lowell, where he now holds the title of professor emeritus. Dr. Siegel has penned numerous works in crime and justice, covering topics ranging from juvenile law and delinquency to criminology, criminal justice, courts, corrections, criminal procedure, and policing. Currently, Larry, along with his wife Therese and their dog Sophie, calls Naples, Florida home, where he continues to write on various aspects and issues within the realm of crime and justice.
