«This is the first up-to-date book to provide an overview and discussions of the shaping of federal, state, and local criminal justice policies throughout American society . . . This excellent book increased my knowledge of the social, political, psychological, and economic context of criminal justice policies. I highly recommend this book to criminal justice students and practitioners, legislators, lobbyists, advocates, librarians, and educators.»
