Crime Control James Q. Wilson and Joan Petersilia (Editor) Crime combines the facts and perspectives of the nation's top experts on crime and criminal justice. It tells the readers in clear prose what we know - and just as important, what we don't know. Because there is little knowledge about crime, and the moral basis of crime control is contested, these authors do not always agree, but their lucid and research-driven arguments will improve public discussion of the issues and approaches. What causes crime and can it be prevented? What is the impact of guns, drugs, police, prison, schools, families, genetics? Read this book for in-depth answers. Paperback, 715pp, Indexed, ISBN: 1-55815-509-0, $39.95 |
