| Abstract | "Flawed Criminal Justice Policy, Third Edition is timely and discusses real world consequences of flawed policy. It expands on the second edition's critical examination of misguided policy in the criminal justice system. This work brings together leading scholars and practitioners to analyze where and how justice policy falls short and what must change. This edition presents new and updated chapters that address issues such as police use of force, solitary confinement, concealed carry laws on college campuses and the complexities of jail and prison visitation policies. This anthology also explores a range of flawed policies, from prosecutorial obligations under the Brady Rule to the treatment of incarcerated pregnant women and mothering from behind bars, juveniles navigating reentry, police and riot control, online sex traffickers, and others. Special attention is given to marginalized populations such as the LGBTQ+ people. This edition is informed by current research and includes a special online chapter that addresses people in the criminal justice system who face mental health issues. The third edition is essential for students, educators, policymakers, and advocates seeking to promote equitable and evidence-based justice policy"-- Provided by publisher. |
