To the Instructor
This Instructor’s Manual (IM) with Test Bank is designed to accompany and complement the
fourteenth edition of Criminal Justice: An Introduction by Frank Schmalleger. It will hopefully
make your job more manageable and your teaching more effective. It provides you with a
comprehensive summary of the information in the textbook and serves as an easy-access
reference to the issues presented in the textbook and to complementary materials.
The chapters of the IM correspond directly to the chapters in the textbook. Each chapter contains
the following sections:
Chapter Overview: A summary of the chapter
Chapter Objectives: A list of the learning objectives that are identified in the textbook
Lecture Outline: An outline of the main topics covered in the chapter and a list of teaching
suggestions.
, List of Changes/Transition Guide: A list of the main changes that have been made to the text
since the previous (thirteenth) edition. This makes it easy to update lesson plans, assignments,
and other course materials to reflect the new edition.
Additional Assignments and Class Activities: Ideas for activities that may be used in class or
assigned to students as outside activities.
Suggested Answers to End-of-Chapter Assignments: The textbook contains a number of
Questions for Review at the end of each chapter. Although students’ personal opinions may play
a role in their answers to these questions, most responses can be assessed in terms of basic
information and common themes found throughout the textbook. Sample suggested answers to
the questions are provided.
In addition, several sample syllabi are provided for courses using the fourteenth edition of
Criminal Justice: An Introduction. Both 10-week and 16-week samples are included.
