Crime in the United States has fluctuated considerably over the
past thirty years, as have the policy approaches to deal with it.
During this time criminologists and other scholars have helped to
shed light on the role of incarceration, prevention, drugs, guns,
policing, and numerous other aspects to crime control. Yet the
latest research is rarely heard in public discussions and is often
missing from the desks of policymakers. This book accessibly
summarizes the latest scientific information on the causes of crime
and evidence about what does and does not work to control it.
Thoroughly revised and updated, this new version of Crime and
Public Policy will include twenty chapters and five new substantial
entries. As with previous editions, each essay reviews the existing
literature, discusses the methodological rigor of the studies,
identifies what policies and programs the studies suggest, and then
points to policies now implemented that fail to reflect the
evidence. The chapters cover the principle institutions of the
criminal justice system (juvenile justice, police, prisons,
probation and parole, sentencing), how broader aspects of social
life inhibit or encourage crime (biology, schools, families,
communities), and topics currently generating a great deal of
attention (criminal activities of gangs, sex offenders, prisoner
reentry, changing crime rates).
With contributions from trusted, leading scholars, Crime and Public
Policy offers the most comprehensive and balanced guide to how the
latest and best social science research informs the understanding
of crime and its control for policymakers, community leaders, and
students of crime and criminal justice.
