Description
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, America s fixation with tough on crime has been an utter failure. The Future of Crime and Punishment lays out a roadmap for how to effectively reduce recidivism, crime, victimization and cost."
