The trauma left him in excruciating pain, with mounting medical debt, and struggling to cope with deep anxiety and fear. That was the same year the national incarceration rate peaked. Yet, despite thousands of new tough-on-crime policies and billions of new dollars pumped into "justice," Aswad never received victim compensation, support, or even basic levels of concern. In the name of victims, justice bureaucracies ballooned while most victims remained on their own. In In Their Names, Lenore Anderson, president of one of the nation's largest reform advocacy organizations, offers a close look at how the political call to help victims in the 1980s morphed into a demand for bigger bureaucracies and more incarceration, and cemented the long- standing chasm that exists between most victims and the justice system. She argues that the powerful myth that mass incarceration benefits victims obscures recognition of what most victims actually need, including addressing their trauma, which is a leading cause of subsequent violent crime. A solutions-oriented, paradigm-shifting book, In Their Names argues persuasively for closing the gap between our public safety systems and crime survivors"--$cProvided by publisher. 517 3 $aUntold story of victims' rights, mass incarceration, and the future of public safety 606 $aDiscrimination in criminal justice administration 606 $aMurder victims$zUnited States 606 $aMurder victims' families 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aDiscrimination in criminal justice administration. 615 0$aMurder victims 615 0$aMurder victims' families. 676 $a174.9364 700 $aRalston$b Lenore$01530316 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910795879003321 996 $aIn their names$93775322 997 $aUNINA
