Description

Explore the complex expansion of the U.S. correctional system in this detailed study on law, crime, and law enforcement. The book examines how mandatory sentencing laws and drug enforcement efforts have driven the massive increase in the prison population over the last thirty years. With data showing over 2.3 million adults in custody by the end of 2008 and millions more on probation or parole, the scale of this growth is significant. This text looks at the reality of a system where one in every 31 adults was under correctional authority in 2007. Readers will gain an understanding of the financial pressures these rising numbers place on federal and state governments. It is an essential resource for anyone studying the economic consequences of correctional spending and the changing landscape of the American justice system.
