Review Quotes:
Relying on a truly astounding number of case studies, criminological reports, reviews of federal and state laws, and opinion surveys, Confronting Failures of Justice is a mammoth yet incisive documentation of the myriad ways our legal system undermines the goal of ensuring people who commit crimes receive the punishment they deserve. This book's thoughtful compendium of how to rectify these injustices provides policymakers with a recipe for reform that is both eminently feasible and theoretically robust.
