A vital collection for reforming criminal justice After five
decades of punitive expansion, the entire U.S. criminal justice
system- mass incarceration, the War on Drugs, police practices, the
treatment of juveniles and the mentally ill, glaring racial
disparity, the death penalty and more - faces challenging
questions. What exactly is criminal justice? How much of it is a
system of law and how much is a collection of situational social
practices? What roles do the Constitution and the Supreme Court
play? How do race and gender shape outcomes? How does change
happen, and what changes or adaptations should be pursued? The New
Criminal Justice Thinking addresses the challenges of this historic
moment by asking essential theoretical and practical questions
about how the criminal system operates. In this thorough and
thoughtful volume, scholars from across the disciplines of legal
theory, sociology, criminology, Critical Race Theory, and
organizational theory offer crucial insights into how the criminal
system works in both theory and practice. By engaging both classic
issues and new understandings, this volume offers a comprehensive
framework for thinking about the modern justice system. For those
interested in criminal law and justice, The New Criminal Justice
Thinking offers a profound discussion of the complexities of our
deeply flawed criminal justice system, complexities that neither
legal theory nor social science can answer alone.
