Synopsis

Trial and Error in Criminal Justice Reform: Learning from Failure examines well-intended programs that fell short of their objectives (D.A.R.E. and Operation Ceasefire being prime examples). "While our research has not unearthed a foolproof path to successful reform, we do know how to guarantee failure, and that is to continue with business as usual," write Burman and Fox. Trial and Error in Criminal Justice Reform honors innovative policymakers and practitioners-judges, cops, attorneys, parole officers, researchers, educators, and politicians-by advocating that they be given the time, space, and encouragement to learn from their predecessors and analyze their own foibles.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In this revised edition of their concise, readable, yet wide-ranging book, Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox tackle a question students and scholars of law, criminology, and political science constantly face: what mistakes have led to the problems that pervade the criminal justice system in the United States? Their goal is to encourage a more forthright dialogue about criminal justice, one that acknowledges that many new initiatives fail and that no one knows for certain how to reduce crime. This revised edition is updated with a new foreword by Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., and afterword by Greg Berman.
