Future of Crime and Punishment

Smart Policies for Reducing Crime and Saving Money

Beschreibung

With recidivism rates north of 70% and tens of billions of dollars wasted annually on policies that assume we can punish the crime out of criminal offenders, Americaâ s fixation with â tough on crimeâ has been an utter failure. William R. Kelly lays out a roadmap for how to effectively reduce recidivism, crime, victimization and cost.
