Over the past forty years, the criminal justice system in the United States has actually engaged in a really expensive policy failure, trying to punish its method to public safety, with dismal results. So-called “hard on crime” policies have not just failed to efficiently minimize criminal activity, recidivism, and victimization but likewise produced an extremely inefficient system that routinely stops working the public, taxpayers, crime victims, criminal culprits, their families, and their neighborhoods. Techniques that focus on behavior change are much more productive and cost reliable for minimizing crime than penalty, and in this book, William R. Kelly discusses the policy, procedure, and financing developments and top priorities that the United States requires to efficiently lower criminal activity, recidivism, victimization, and cost.
