Beskrivning

Rehabilitating Criminal Justice offers bold yet sensible proposals for reforming every major component of the US criminal justice system. The first third of the book explains how existing caselaw can be interpreted to end over-policing, better regulate interrogations, and replace the exclusionary rule with direct sanctions on officers and their departments. The second part of the book, on the post-arrest adjudication process, calls for replacing cash bail with validated risk assessments and proposes to reorient our error-prone, hyper-adversarial system by ending convictions via guilty pleas and giving judges more power over questioning of witnesses and the selection of experts. The final chapters show how the harshness of the system can be leavened by refocusing sentencing on prevention rather than retribution and by creating an independent criminal court system. They also explain why these reforms are preferable to the currently popular movement to defund police departments and abolish prisons.

Recensioner i media

'Rehabilitating Criminal Justice is an important book with many valuable reform proposals by one of the leading thinkers in America on criminal justice. It is an important addition to the literature on criminal justice reform and offers a package of solutions that are bold but feasible, thus presenting itself as a realistic alternative to calls for abolition. We need more scholarship like this, which aims for dramatic changes to address mass incarceration but that is attuned to the need to continue to provide a regime that will keep the public safe and be politically palatable.' Rachel Barkow, author of Prisoners of Politics: Breaking the Cycle of Mass Incarceration and Justice Abandoned: How the Supreme Court Ignored the Constitution and Enabled Mass Incarceration
