The financial costs are enormous. The moral cost is greater: countless individual injustices; mass incarceration; the world's highest imprisonment rate; extreme disparities, especially affecting members of racial and ethnic minority groups; high rates of wrongful conviction; assembly line case processing; and a general absence of respectful consideration of offenders' interests, circumstances, and needs. The main ideas in this book about doing justice and preventing crime are simple: Treat people charged with and convicted of crimes justly, fairly, and even-handedly, as anyone would want done for themselves or their children. Take sympathetic account of the circumstances of peoples' lives. Punish no one more severely than he or she deserves. Those propositions are implicit in the Rule of Law and its requirement that the human dignity of every person be respected. Three major structural changes are needed. First, selection of judges and prosecutors, and their day-to-day work, must be insulated from political influence. Second, mandatory minimum sentence, three-strikes, life without parole, truth in sentencing, and similar laws must be repealed. Third, correctional and prosecution systems must be centralized in unified state agencies"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh86006644 650 0 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008111522 650 0 $a Law reform $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008106817 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Law reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994081 650 7 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112638 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 776 08 $i Online version: $a Tonry, Michael H. $t Doing justice, preventing crime $d New York : Oxford University Press, 2020. $z 9780199717668 $w (DLC) 2020003946 830 0 $a Studies in crime and public policy. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93116776 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020012636.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FF3AFA7E9F4211EBBB7E29A634ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
