Capacity to Punish: The Ecology of Crime and Punishment

Henry N. Pontell

4.9/5 (34948 ratings)

Description:Henry Pontell convincingly demonstrates that despite the expenditure of millions of dollars, the enactment of many new laws exacting harsher punishments, and the growth of a vast criminal justice system, America is losing its "war on crime." By focusing on deterrence through punishment meted out by our criminal justice system, our courts receive more cases than they can handle, and our prisons and jails overflow with inmates. The message from a beleaguered criminal justice system, according to the author, is clear: there is limited capacity to punish. Pontell suggests that the first step toward solving the crime problem is to stop perceiving it and using it as a political issue and to begin to approach it from a reasoned, scientific, humane methodology.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
