Dedication

We dedicate this book to all the students in Louisiana who honor us by taking this course.

We also dedicate this project to all our significant others who supported us through this endeavor—through the endless days, the long nights, and the countless weekends. Without you, none of this would have been possible.

And lastly, this book is dedicated to the individuals, however they identify, who work tirelessly in the Criminal Justice System trying to do their part in making it work as best they can. There are good police officers. There are good judges. There are good corrections personnel out there. They don’t get the credit they deserve.
