Reviews

""The scope of Auerhahn’s analysis in this valuable publication is very ambitious and wide-ranging, and embraces economic change and the reform of social welfare institutions.""— Bill Jordan, author of Social Policy for the 21st Century ""Mass incarceration in America is now understood as a policy problem needing immediate attention. Auerhahn’s careful analysis shows that it is also a looming crisis.  If we are serious about repairing the mess we have made with our incarceration policies, then we must be honest that we cannot do so without also addressing the way the changes in our economy works create imposing impediments to a reform agenda."" — Todd Clear, author of The Punishment Imperative: The Rise and Failure of Mass Incarceration in America

The scope of Auerhahn's analysis in this valuable publication is very ambitious and wide-ranging, and embraces economic change and the reform of social welfare institutions. --Bill Jordan author of Socialist Policy of the 21st Century
