Criminal justice and social justice."Market society is producing more crime around the world. More acts are being defined as crimes. Ever increasing numbers of people are classified as criminals and more are being locked up in prison. With globalization, the crime and punishment problem is no longer insulated from pressures beyond national borders. The rich may retreat behind their expensive security into gated communities, but the poor are more and more at the mercy of criminals and corrupt policing. Yet, Vivien Stern argues, the trends towards more criminalization and more imprisonment are not making for more effective crime control or safer communities. This book demonstrates that the prospects for the future are serious unless NGOs and reformers join in a new movement for reform that gives more control of justice policy back to communities and neighbourhoods."--Jacket.Global issues series (Zed Books)ImprisonmentCrime preventionSocial justiceCriminal justice, Administration ofImprisonment.Crime prevention.Social justice.Criminal justice, Administration of.364Stern Vivien942388MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910172260403321Creating criminals2198041UNINA
