"Essential reading for every citizen seeking ways to stop the bloodshed on our streets." - "This book is a must read for anyone who knows the system is broken, and wants to change it." - John Walsh, Host, 'America's Most Wanted', from the Foreword "With candor, clarity and common sense, this powerful new book addresses our number one national concern: the fear of crime. Skyrocketing rates of violence, symbolized by well-publicized horror stories, have left Americans feeling besieged. From big cities to small towns, parents worry about their children's safety at school and on the street. In many neighborhoods the elderly are prisoners in their homes. Meanwhile, inner-city communities have become virtual war zones. This ever-mounting crime wave is swamping police, courts and prisons. Career criminals regard the justice system as a joke. Crime victims often feel that the worst offenses against them occur after they go to court. Crime has become a crisis; our criminal justice system has become an national scandal. How did it happen? Modern theories about crime and criminals have undermined our legal system, and turned our once-great cities into desolate battlefields. Who is to blame? An "Excuse-Making Industry" of social scientists and legal scholars, who reject the idea that criminals should be held accountable for what they do. What can we do? Plenty, say the 14 distinguished thinkers represented in this powerhouse collection. In clear, blunt language, they explode decades of excuse-making for criminals - and offer tough, no-nonsense reforms for our failed criminal justice system. Criminal Justice? is the first book to explore the causes and consequences of our legal system's abandonment of individual responsibility. And it is the only book with a blueprint to return accountability to our legal system, and safety to our streets. Criminal Justice? is easily the most controversial book on crime and punishment to appear in years, and perhaps the most important. It is must reading for law enforcement officials, crime victims, politicians and for every citizen who values justice." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
