Sommario/riassunto

Getting tough on crime has been one of the favorite rallying cries of American politicians in the last two decades, and ""getting tough"" on repeat offenders has been particularly popular. ""Three strikes and you're out"" laws, which effectively impose a 25-years-to-life sentence at the moment of a third felony conviction, have been passed in 26 states. California's version of the ""three strikes"" law, enacted in 1994, was broader and more severe than measures considered or passed in any other state. Punishment and Democracy is the first examination of the actual impact this law has had. Fran
