The policies include mass incarceration, sex offender laws, supermax prisons, faith-based prisoner reentry programs, transfer of juveniles to adult court, domestic violence mandatory arrest laws, drug courts, gun laws, community policing, private prisons, and many others. Optimistically, Daniel P. Mears argues that this situation can be changed through systematic incorporation of evaluation research into policy development, monitoring, and assessment. To this end, the book provides a clear and accessible discussion of five types of evaluation - needs, theory, implementation or process, outcome and impact, and cost-efficiency. And it identifies how they can be used both to hold the criminal justice system accountable and to increase the effectiveness of crime control and crime prevention efforts."--Provided by publisher. 000351800 650_0 $$aCriminology$$zUnited States. 000351800 650_0 $$aJustice, Administration of$$zUnited States. 000351800 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aMears, Daniel P., 1966-$$tAmerican criminal justice policy.$$dCambridge : Cambridge University Press, 2010$$z9780521746236$$z780521762465$$w(DLC) 2009047360$$w(OCoLC)465330754 000351800 8520_ $$bacq 000351800 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000351800 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=803142$$zOnline Access 000351800 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:351800$$pGLOBAL_SET 000351800 980__ $$aEBOOK 000351800 980__ $$aBIB 000351800 982__ $$aEbook 000351800 983__ $$aOnline
