| Summary |
"Todd R. Clear and David R. Karp set forth a comprehensive plan for increasing public involvement in criminal justice practice. They show that doing so will not only reduce crime and fear of crime more effectively than "get tough" approaches, but will also help repair deteriorating social ties in communities across the country. In this way, they contend, community justice practice can make an important contribution to improving and enriching American public life."--BOOK JACKET |
