Klappentext Rates of violent and property crime in Western countries have been falling since mid-1990s! after rising in the 1970s and 1980s. The implication is that something other than mass imprisonment! zero-tolerance policing! and "three-strikes" laws must explain why crime rates are falling. This book explores the possibilities cross-nationally. Zusammenfassung Rates of violent and property crime in Western countries have been falling since mid-1990s! after rising in the 1970s and 1980s.
