From the Publisher

Title of related interest from Waveland Press: Shichor, The Meaning and Nature of Punishment (ISBN 9781577663874).

From the Back Cover

"We desperately need alternatives to incarceration and the way we effect criminal justice in our society. Shelden addresses this in his very provocative, well-written, and concise discourse. Every incoming student in criminal justice should read this book before they are exposed to the draconian ideas presented in traditional texts." -- Dennis M. Rome, University of Wisconsin, Kenosha

    5.0 out of 5 stars Behind the Scenes of the American Punitive society. How it Destroys Justice
    Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2012
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Jammed Pact full of facts that do not support the hypocritical way criminals are treated by the global superpower known as the United States of America. Using this book as a cornerstone for my future thesis. Amazon got be the best bang for my buck. Do not consider any other for your College Knowledge, but Amazon.com!
