The results have been predictably bad: policies that bust government budgets and devastate individual lives and communities but do nothing to promote public safety. To break this cycle and get better policies, we can no longer set criminal justice policies based on the whims of the electorate. We should instead follow the model we have used in so many other areas of life that has improved public health and safety by relying on expert knowledge. Prisoners of Politics offers a new institutional framework for addressing criminal justice policy that is designed to rely on data instead of stories, on expertise instead of emotion.--$$cProvided by publisher. 000865794 650_0 $$aCriminal justice, Administration of$$zUnited States. 000865794 650_0 $$aCriminal justice, Administration of$$xPlanning$$zUnited States. 000865794 650_0 $$aImprisonment$$zUnited States. 000865794 650_0 $$aPunishment$$zUnited States. 000865794 85200 $$bgen$$hHV9950$$i.B358$$i2019 000865794 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:865794$$pGLOBAL_SET 000865794 980__ $$aBIB 000865794 980__ $$aBOOK
