What drug provides Americans with the greatest pleasure and the greatest pain? The answer, hands down, is alcohol.

Criminal justice expenditures have more than doubled since the 1980s, dramatically increasing costs to the public. With state and local revenue shortfalls resulting from the recent recession, the question of whether crime control can be accomplished either with fewer resources or by investing those resources in areas other than the criminal justice system is all the more relevant."Controlling Crime" considers alternative ways to reduce crime that do not sacrifice public safety.
