The second edition of Crime Policy in America describes the process
of policy-making and the substantive nature of policy directions in
crime and justice in America, particularly from the beginning of
the 1970s. This book examines the nature of presidential
policy-making in crime and justice from Nixon to Obama,
congressional policy-making since the birth of the Bill of Rights,
and judicial policy-making since the promulgation of the Judicial
Act of 1789. The perspective of this book is deeply historical,
sociological, and legalistic. Historically, the book has explored
the evolution of different policy strategies at different periods
of American history; sociologically, it scrutinized the impact of
the get-tough policy paradigm on crime and justice, and from a
legal perspective it has examined the conflict and the consensus of
Congress and the federal judiciary on different issues of crime and
justice from drug crimes to sex crimes to counterterrorism. The
second edition of the book has particularly illuminated the
changing directions of US crime policy from the dominance of the
"get tough" approach in the 1980s and 1990s to a more balanced
approach to crime control and prevention in the beginning of the
21sr century.
