Reviews
<br> Violent crime is an enormous problem that Americans have been taught they simply have to accept. The evidence marshaled so effectively in this excellent volume suggests otherwise. Data-driven, strategically planned interventions with offenders can make a difference in reducing violence. Finally we have the long-awaited blueprint for revitalizing our criminal justice system. -- Paul S. Appelbaum, MD, Dollard Professor of Psychiatry, Medicine, & Law and Director, Division of Law, Ethics, and Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians & Surgeons <br><p><br> This is the most innovative and important book ever written--ever--about one of our most serious social problems. Thoughtful, comprehensive, original and challenging: what more could a reader ask for? -- Michael L. Perlin, Professor of Law and Director of the International Mental Disability Law Reform Project, New York Law School <br><p><br> Using Social Science to Reduce Violent Offending is a survey of practices that have successfully changed human behavior. When this tool is put into practice, the world will be a better and safer place. --Andrew Vachss, Attorney, author, and Advisory Board Member of the National Association to Protect Children <br><p><br>
