Description

Jon B. Gould (Editor) Jon B. Gould is Dean of the School of Social Ecology at the University of California, Irvine, where he is also Professor in the Department of Criminology, Law and Society and affiliated with the School of Law. He is the author of The Innocence Commission: Preventing Wrongful Convictions and Restoring the Criminal Justice System. Pamela R. Metzger (Editor) Pamela R. Metzger is Professor of Law and Director of the Deason Criminal Justice Reform Center at Southern Methodist University.

This book does two things - both important - and it does them exceedingly well. First, in an era in which reform of the criminal legal system is a top priority for many, it provides a collection of essays across the entire system, from policing to incarceration and re-entry. Second, it does so from a deeply evidence-based perspective, so reform can be both effective and enduring. The editors are to be congratulated in assembling this impressive gathering of expertise, in a volume that many will find informative and engaging. * Barry Friedman, author of Unwarranted: Policing without Permission *
