  • Punishing Race

    A Continuing American Dilemma

    by Michael Tonry ...
    Series series Studies in Crime and Public Policy
    How can it be, in a nation that elected Barack Obama, that one third of African American males born in 2001 will spend time in a state or federal prison, and that black men are seven times likelier than white men to be in prison? Blacks are much more likely than whites to be stopped by the police, arrested, prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned, and are much less likely to have confidence in ... Read more

  • Thinking about Crime

    Sense and Sensibility in American Penal Culture

    by Michael Tonry ...
    Series series Studies in Crime and Public Policy
    Crime is an American preoccupation. Campaigns such as "the war on drugs," zero tolerance policing, and three strikes and you're out--not to mention the ever-shrill coverage of crime stories-all suggest a perpetually outraged nation determined to keep its criminal element at bay, no matter the cost. But is this really what average Americans think about crime and crime control measures? Or is the ... Read more

    Mafias, Markets, and Networks

    Edited by Michael Tonry, Peter Reuter ...
    Series series Crime and Justice: A Review of Research
    For most Americans, The Godfather, The Sopranos, and the Cosa Nostra exemplify organized crime.

Some but not all ... Read more

  • The Future of Imprisonment

    Edited by Michael Tonry ...
    The imprisonment rate in America has grown by a factor of five since 1972. In that time, punishment policies have toughened, compassion for prisoners has diminished, and prisons have gotten worse-a stark contrast to the origins of the prison 200 years ago as a humanitarian reform, a substitute for capital and corporal punishment and banishment. So what went wrong? How can prisons be made ... Read more

    Edited by Michael Tonry ...

Serious analysis has seldom delved into what makes crimes more or less serious, what makes punishments more or less severe, ... Read more

Most everyone agrees ... Read more
