The Challenge of Crime - Rethinking Our Response (Paperback, New Ed): Henry Ruth, Kevin R. Reitz The Challenge of Crime - Rethinking Our Response (Paperback, New Ed)
Henry Ruth, Kevin R. Reitz
R768 Discovery Miles 7 680 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The development of crime policy in the United States for many generations has been hampered by a drastic shortage of knowledge and data, an excess of partisanship and instinctual responses, and a one-way tendency to expand the criminal justice system. Even if a three-decade pattern of prison growth came to a full stop in the early 2000s, the current decade will be by far the most punitive in U.S. history, hitting some minority communities particularly hard.

The book examines the history, scope, and effects of the revolution in America's response to crime since 1970. Henry Ruth and Kevin Reitz offer a comprehensive, long-term, pragmatic approach to increase public understanding of and find improvements in the nation's response to crime. Concentrating on meaningful areas for change in policing, sentencing, guns, drugs, and juvenile crime, they discuss such topics as new priorities for the use of incarceration; aggressive policing; the war on drugs; the need to switch the gun control debate to a focus on crime gun regulation; a new focus on offenders' transition from confinement to freedom; and the role of private enterprise.

A book that rejects traditional liberal and conservative outlooks, "The Challenge of Crime" takes a major step in offering new approaches for the nation's responses to crime.

Vor 20 Jahren, 1962, reifte die Idee "Coronary Care Area", suchte sich geeignete Kopfe und wurde konzipiert. Damit war es moglich geworden, die bereits seit langerer Zeit in Spital em verfiigbaren Me- tho den zur Wiederbelebung, Herzmassage und Defibrillation, wirk- sam anzuwenden. Der Erfolg stellte sich rasch ein. Die Spitalletalitat der Krankheit Myokardinfarkt sank von urn 40% auf etwa 15%. Eine ganze Reihe wertvoller Nebenprodukte war seither zu emten: Steiler Anstieg des Wissens urn die Krankheit Myokardinfarkt, auch durch den Einsatz inzwischen entwickelter modemer Untersuchungsme- tho den und Reehner. Betraehtliehe Verbesserung der quantitativen Diagnose. Zeitliehe Ausdehnung der Uberwachung naeh Erkenntnis der Tatsache, daB das Komplikationsrisiko vor Spitaleintritt am hoehsten und naeh wenigen Tagen noeh nicht erIoschen ist. Ausrieh- tung der Bemiihungen auf jene Patienten, denen tatsaehlieh gehol- fen werden kann. Wirksame Mal3nahme zur Verhiitung gewisser Komplikationen. Erhebliche Verkiirzung des Spitalaufenthaltes und damit der Krankheitsdauer. Neue Aufgabe fUr die Krankenschwe- ster. 1m vorliegenden Buch werden am Basler Beispiel die modeme Herz- station, ihre Arheitsweise, ihre Moglichkeiten und ihre Ergebnisse in Diagnose, Therapie und Prophylaxe dargestellt. Die Darstellung ist beeindruekend, wird viele anspreehen und bei der Planung, im Auf- bau, im Betrieb und in der Beurteilung einer Herzstation sehr niitzli- che Dienste leisten. Die Darstellung beeindruckt auch, wei I sie er- kennen lal3t, was im Laufe von 20 Jahren aus jenem Konzept 1962 geworden ist.

The Oxford Handbook of Sentencing and Corrections (Hardcover): Joan Petersilia, Kevin R. Reitz The Oxford Handbook of Sentencing and Corrections (Hardcover)

R5,466 Discovery Miles 54 660 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

It is no secret that America's sentencing and corrections systems are in crisis, and neither system can be understood or repaired fully without careful consideration of the other. This handbook examines the intertwined and multi-layered fields of American sentencing and corrections from global and historical viewpoints, from theoretical and policy perspectives, and with close attention to many problem-specific arenas. Editors Joan Petersilia and Kevin R. Reitz, both leaders in their respective fields, bring together a group of preeminent scholars to present state-of-the art research, investigate current practices, and explore the implications of new and varied approaches wherever possible. The handbook's contributors bridge the gap between research and policy across a range of topics including an overview of mass incarceration and its collateral effects, explorations of sentencing theories and their applications, analyses of the full spectrum of correctional options, and first-hand accounts of life inside of and outside of prison. Individual chapters reflect expertise and source materials from multiple fields including criminology, law, sociology, psychology, public policy, economics, political science, and history.
Proving that the problems of sentencing and corrections, writ large, cannot be addressed effectively or comprehensively within the confines of any one discipline, The Oxford Handbook of Sentencing and Corrections is a vital reference volume on these two related and central components of America's ongoing experiment in mass incarceration.

American Exceptionalism in Crime and Punishment (Hardcover): Kevin R. Reitz American Exceptionalism in Crime and Punishment (Hardcover)
Kevin R. Reitz
R2,884 Discovery Miles 28 840 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The idea of American exceptionalism has made frequent appearances in discussions of criminal justice policies-as it has in many other areas-to help portray or explain problems that are especially acute in the U.S., including mass incarceration, retention of the death penalty, racial and ethnic disparities, and the War on Drugs. While scholars do not universally agree that it is an apt or useful framework, there is no question that the U.S. is an outlier, when compared with other industrialized democracies, in its punitive and exclusionary criminal justice policies. This volume of essays deepens the debate of American exceptionalism in crime and punishment through comparative political, economic, and historical analyses, with an orientation toward forward-looking prescriptions for American law, policy, and institutions of government. The chapters expand the literature to neglected areas such as community supervision, parole release, and collateral consequences of conviction; explore claims of causation, in particular the view that the U.S. history of slavery and racial inequality has been a primary driver of crime policy; examine arguments that the framework of multiple governments and localized crime control, populist style of democracy, and laissez-faire economy are implicated in problems of both crime and punishment; and assess theories that cultural values are the most salient predictors of penal severity and violent crime. With an outstanding list of contributors edited by a leading authority on punishment, this volume demonstrates that the largest problems of crime and justice cannot be brought into focus from the perspective of single jurisdiction, and that comparative inquiries are necessary for an understanding of the current predicament in the US.
