Books are the best source for in-depth information when you need to know a subject inside and out. Books by one author on a subject are structured to lead the reader from little knowledge to a more thorough understanding; this cannot usually be said for web resources or articles. Scholarly articles are generally written by and for experts in a field, making them less accessible to someone without knowledge of the jargon and basics of the field. Web resources can be good options for up-to-date information, but they usually do not provide any in-depth examination of the information.

Books that have a separate author for each chapter can present different viewpoints on one subject or address different parts of a subject. Remember that it may not be necessary to read an entire book to have books be a useful part of your research.

Materials at the Asa H. Gordon Library are housed using the Library of Congress Classification System. You can find books related to Criminal Justice in the "HV" class.
