More about the book
Focusing on the ineffectiveness of traditional crime responses, the author highlights the staggering costs associated with policing and incarceration in the U.S. Despite spending $200 billion annually and housing over two million inmates, research indicates that community-based solutions addressing risk factors are far more effective in crime prevention. The book presents compelling evidence and practical strategies for reducing crime by investing in community initiatives rather than perpetuating the cycle of incarceration.
