William R. Kelly

The Crisis in America's Criminal Courts

Improving Criminal Justice Outcomes by Transforming Decision-Making

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book highlights the variety of problems that judges, prosecutors, and public defenders face within a criminal justice system that is ineffective, unfair, and extraordinarily expensive. Much of the dysfunction originates from crushing dockets and caseloads combined with the lack of time, expertise, and resources for effective decision-making.
