Community Justice discusses concepts of community within the
context of justice policy and programs, and addresses the important
relationship between the criminal justice system and the community
in the USA. Taking a bold stance in the criminal justice debate,
this book argues that crime management is more effective through
the use of informal (as opposed to formal) social control. It
demonstrates how an increasing number of criminal justice elements
are beginning to understand that the development of partnerships
within the community that enhance informal social control will lead
to a stabilization and possible a decline in crime, especially
violent crime, and make communities more liveable. Borrowing from
an eclectic toolbox of ideas and strategies - community organizing,
environmental crime prevention, private-public partnerships,
justice initiatives - Community Justice puts forward a new approach
to establishing safe communities, and highlights the failure of the
current American justice system in its lack of vision and misuse of
resources. Providing detailed information about how community
justice fits within each area of the criminal justice system, and
including relevant case studies to exemplify this philosophy in
action, this book is essential reading for undergraduate and
postgraduate students of subjects such as criminology, law and
sociology.
