In the field of criminal justice, public policy is designed to
address the problems brought on by criminal behavior and the
response to that behavior. However, too often, the theories
carefully developed in the academy fail to make their way into
programs and policy. The editors and contributors to this second
edition of Criminology and Public Policy highlight the recent
development of “translational criminology” to address the
growing movement in criminology to use the results of
criminological research and theory to better inform policy and
practice. The essays in Criminology and Public Policy
propose an in-depth look at both theory and practice and how they
are integrated across a number of key criminal justice
problems—from racial and environmental concerns to gun control
and recidivism rates as well as police use of force and mass
incarceration. The end result is an essential volume that blends
both theory and practice in an effort to address the critical
problems in explaining, preventing, responding to, and correcting
criminal behavior. Contributors include: Robert K.
