Even as the prisoner head count continues to rise, crime has stopped falling, and poor people and minorities still bear the brunt of both crime and punishment. This work explains how we got into the current trap and how we can get out of it: to cut both crime and the prison population in half within a decade. The author demonstrates that simply locking up more people for lengthier terms is no longer a workable crime-control strategy. But, he says, there has been a revolution, largely unnoticed by the press, in controlling crime by means other than brute-force incarceration: substituting swiftness and certainty of punishment for randomized severity, concentrating enforcement resources rather than dispersing them, communicating specific threats of punishment to specific offenders, and enforcing probation and parole conditions to make community corrections a genuine alternative to incarceration. As the author shows, "zero tolerance" is nonsense: there are always more offenses than there is punishment capacity. But, it is possible and essential to create focused zero tolerance, by clearly specifying the rules and then delivering the promised sanctions every time the rules are broken. Brute-force crime control has been a costly mistake, both socially and financially. Now that we know how to do better, according to the author, it would be immoral not to put that knowledge to work. 000453532 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000453532 650_0 $$aCrime$$zUnited States. 000453532 650_0 $$aCrime prevention$$zUnited States. 000453532 650_0 $$aPunishment$$zUnited States. 000453532 650_0 $$aCriminal justice, Administration of$$zUnited States. 000453532 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aKleiman, Mark.$$tWhen brute force fails.$$dPrinceton [New Jersey] : Princeton University Press, c2009$$z9780691142081$$w(DLC) 2009019862$$w(OCoLC)320800783 000453532 8520_ $$bacq 000453532 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000453532 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=457843$$zOnline Access 000453532 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:453532$$pGLOBAL_SET 000453532 980__ $$aEBOOK 000453532 980__ $$aBIB 000453532 982__ $$aEbook 000453532 983__ $$aOnline
