Taking a balanced, reasoned approach, Criminal Justice Policy: Origins and Effectiveness provides an overview of a major policy in each chapter, discussing the type of crime that the policy targets and giving a summary of the empirical evidence on the policy's effectiveness at reducing crime. The text reviews the academic research on policy effectiveness and covers both the theoretical foundation and empirical status of each policy.
