Profitable Penalties

Více o knize

Focusing on the financial implications of crime control, the book critiques the U.S. government's significant spending on punitive measures at the expense of education and public services. It evaluates whether these investments yield tangible benefits in crime reduction and explores existing research to propose strategies for effectively lowering both crime rates and associated costs. By analyzing the balance between expenditure and outcomes, it challenges the effectiveness of current approaches to crime management.
