Honest Politician's Guide to Crime Control

Norval Morris and Gordon Hawkins's first premise is that our criminal justice system is a moral busybody, unwisely extended beyond its proper role of protecting persons and property. But they go further and systematically cover the amount, costs, causes, and victims of crime: the reduction of violence; the police; corrections; juvenile delinquency; the function of psychiatry in crime control; organized crime; and the uses of criminological research. On each topic precise recommendations are made and carefully defended.Morris, Norval is the author of 'Honest Politician's Guide to Crime Control' with ISBN 9780226539027 and ISBN 0226539024.
