Winner of the 2012 Harry J. Kalven Prize, Law & Society AssociationOne ofChoice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2011: Top 25 Books"Hagan, one of the world's leading sociologists, explores the basis of modern US crime policy from the early 20th century to the present. . . . Thoughtful readers should reflect on the author's eminently sensible and workable suggestions for redirecting the nation's crime policies so that they are both more effective and less expensive. If someone has time to read only one book on contemporary crime and crime policy, this is the book."--Choice
