ISBN: 9780195115833 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The one, sure way that imprisonment prevents crime is by restraining offenders from committing crimes while they are locked up. Called "incapacitation" by experts in criminology, this effect has become the dominant justification for imprisonment in the United States, where well over a million persons are currently in jails and prisons and public figures who want to appear tough on crime periodically urge that we throw away the key. How useful is the modern prison in restraining crime, and at what cost? How much do we really know about incapacitation and its effectiveness?

ISBN: 9780195152364 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Why does the United States continue to employ the death penalty when fifty other developed democracies have abolished it? Why does capital punishment become more problematic each year? How can the death penalty conflict be resolved?
In The Contradictions of American Capital Punishment, Frank Zimring reveals that the seemingly insoluble turmoil surrounding the death penalty reflects a deep and long-standing division in American values, a division that he predicts will soon bring about the end of capital punishment in our country. On the one hand, execution would seem to violate our... Why does the United States continue to employ the death penalty when fifty other developed democracies have abolished it?

Punishment and Democracy: Three Strikes and You're Out in California
ISBN: 9780195136869 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Getting tough on crime" has been one of the favorite rallying cries of American politicians in the last two decades, and "getting tough" on repeat offenders has been particularly popular. "Three strikes and you're out" laws, which effectively impose a 25-years-to-life sentence at the moment of a third felony conviction, have been passed in 26 states. California's version of the "three strikes" law, enacted in 1994, was broader and more severe than measures considered or passed in any other state. Punishment and Democracy is the first examination of the actual impact this law...

City That Became Safe: New York's Lessons for Urban Crime and Its Control
ISBN: 9780199324163 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The forty-percent drop in crime that occurred across the U.S. from 1991 to 2000 remains largely an unsolved mystery. Even more puzzling is the eighty-percent drop over nineteen years in New York City. Twice as long and twice as large, it is the largest crime decline on record. In The City That Became Safe, Franklin E. Zimring seeks out the New York difference through a comprehensive investigation into the city's falling crime rates. The usual understanding is that aggressive police created a zero-tolerance law enforcement regime that drove crime rates down. Is this political...

The Great American Crime Decline
ISBN: 9780195378986 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many theories--from the routine to the bizarre--have been offered up to explain the crime decline of the 1990s. Was it record levels of imprisonment? An abatement of the crack cocaine epidemic? More police using better tactics? Or even the effects of legalized abortion? And what can we expect from crime rates in the future? Franklin E. Zimring here takes on the experts, and counters with the first in-depth portrait of the decline and its true significance. The major lesson from the 1990s is that relatively superficial changes in the character of urban life can be associated with up to 75%...

In Crime is Not the Problem, Franklin Zimring and Gordon Hawkins revol utionize the way we think about crime and violence--by forcing us to d istinguish between crime and violence. The authors reveal that compare d to other industrialized nations, in most categories of nonviolent cr ime, American crime rates are comparable--even lower, in some cases. O nly when it comes to lethal violence does the United States outpace ot her Western nations, with homicide rates many, many times greater.

An American Travesty: Legal Responses to Adolescent Sexual Offending
ISBN: 9780226983585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "An American Travesty" is the first scholarly book in half a century to analyze the justice system's response to sexual misconduct by children and adolescents in the United States. Writing with a refreshing dose of common sense, Franklin E. Zimring discusses our society's failure to consider the developmental status of adolescent sex offenders. Too often, he argues, the American legal system ignores age and developmental status when adjudicating young sexual offenders, in many cases responding as they would to an adult. "An opinionated, articulate, and forceful critique of current...
