Offenders on Offending: Learning about Crime from Criminals
ISBN: 9781843927761 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Our knowledge of crime is based on three types of sources: the criminal justice system, victims, and offenders. For technological and other reasons the criminal justice system produces an increasing stream of information on crime. The rise of the victimization survey has given the victims a much larger role in our study of crime. There is, however, no concomitant development regarding offenders. This is unfortunate because offenders are the experts when it comes to offending.In order to understand criminal behavior, we need their perspective. This is not always a straightforward...

Oxford Handbook of Crime and Public Policy
ISBN: 9780195336177 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 656 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Much of the scholarly literature and principal books on criminal justice and crime control policy take the operations of the criminal justice system, the causes of crime and delinquency, theories about crime and justice, and crime prevention as the central topics for study and policy analysis. But law enforcement and public officials create policy responses to specific crimes, not broad categories of offenses. In order to develop the most effective policies, one needs to understand why particular crimes occur and what approaches might best prevent them or minimize the harm they cause....

The Oxford Handbook of Crime and Criminal Justice
ISBN: 9780199338283 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 992 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Although criminal justice systems in developed Western countries are much alike in form, structure, and function, the American system is unique. While it is structurally similar to those of other Western countries, the punishments it imposes are often vastly harsher. No other Western country retains capital punishment or regularly employs life-without-parole, three-strikes, or lengthy mandatory minimum sentencing laws. As a result, the U.S. imprisonment rate of nearly 800 per 100,000 residents dwarfs rates elsewhere.

Punishing Race: A Continuing American Dilemma
ISBN: 9780199926466 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How can it be, in a nation that elected Barack Obama, that one third of African American males born in 2001 will spend time in a state or federal prison, and that black men are seven times likelier than white men to be in prison? Blacks are much more likely than whites to be stopped by the police, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned, and are much less likely to have confidence in justice system officials, especially the police. In Punishing Race, Michael Tonry demonstrates in lucid, accessible language that these patterns result not from racial differences in crime or...

Malign Neglect: Race, Crime, and Punishment in America
ISBN: 9780195104691 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite the perennial claims of politicians that our courts are coddling hardened criminals, the fact is that America already sends a higher proportion of its citizens to prison--and for longer terms--than any other western nation. To quote the Canadian House of Commons's Committee on Justice, "If locking up those who violate the law contributed to safer societies, then the United States should be the safest country in the world." Yet despite well-documented and mounting evidence that increased penalties alone cannot reduce crime, the Reagan and Bush administrations repeatedly lobbied for...

Crime and Justice, Volume 43: Why Crime Rates Fall, and Why They Don't
ISBN: 9780226208633 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 512 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Violent and property crime rates in all Western countries have been falling since the early and mid-1990s, after rising in the 1970s and 1980s. Few people have noticed the common patterns and fewer have attempted to understand or explain them. Yet the implications are essential for thinking about crime control and criminal justice policy more broadly. Crime rates in Canada and the United States, for example, have moved in parallel for 40 years, but Canada has neither increased its imprisonment rate nor adopted harsher criminal justice policies. The implication is that something other than...

Confronting Crime: Crime Control Policy Under New Labour
ISBN: 9781138878501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. From Labour's promise to be 'tough on crime, tough on the causes of crime' through to the White Paper and new criminal justice legislation, controlling crime and reforming the criminal justice system has been one of the government's key priorities. This book provides a detailed review of the thinking behind these new plans and legislation, looking at policies and proposals in the field of punishment, particularly those embodied in the Halliday Review of the Sentencing Framework (2001), the government White Paper Justice for All (2002), and the 2002 Criminal Justice Bill.

Sentencing Fragments: Penal Reform in America, 1975-2025
ISBN: 9780190204686 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Almost everyone agrees--Right on Crime, the ACLU, Koch Industries, George Soros's Open Society Foundation, the editorial boards of the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal--that America's current systems for sentencing criminal offenders are a shambles, with crazy quilts of incompatible and conflicting laws, policies, and practices in every state and the federal system. Most everyone agrees that punishments are too severe, and too many people are in prison. However, the kinds of major changes required to undo mass incarceration and rebuild American sentencing are...

The Future of Imprisonment
ISBN: 9780195314106 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The imprisonment rate in America has grown by a factor of five since 1972. In that time, punishment policies have toughened, compassion for prisoners has diminished, and prisons have gotten worse-a stark contrast to the origins of the prison 200 years ago as a humanitarian reform, a substitute for capital and corporal punishment and banishment. So what went wrong? How can prisons be made simultaneously more effective and more humane? Who should be sent there in the first place? What should happen to them while they are inside? When, how, and under what conditions should they be released? ...

Sentencing Matters

Michael Tonry, an internationally recognized authority on criminology, offers in these pages a comprehensive overview of current research, policy developments, and practical experiences concerning sentencing and sanctions. He examines the effects of increased penalties and considers whether they have made America a safer place. Tonry contends that in order for sentencing to be fair and effective, comprehensive and defensible policies must be in place and mechanisms must exist to implement those policies. He also looks at mandatory penalties, community sanctions, and sentencing changes in...

The Handbook of Crime and Punishment
ISBN: 9780195140606 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 832 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Crime is one of the most significant political issues in contemporary American society. Crime control statistics and punishment policies are subjects of constant partisan debate, while the media presents sensationalized stories of criminal activity and over-crowded prisons. In the highly politicized arena of crime and justice, empirical data and reasoned analysis are often overlook or ignored. The Handbook of Crime and Punishment, however, provides a comprehensive overview of criminal justice, criminology, and crime control policy, thus enabling a fundamental understanding of crime...
