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
