What Works to Reduce Crime: A Policy Guide examines research-based approaches to crime reduction within the framework of the criminal justice system. The book categorizes policies and programs as effective, ineffective, or promising using established rating criteria. It addresses various topics, including policing strategies, court interventions, correctional practices, community-based corrections, and juvenile justice measures with the goal of consolidating conclusions that can inform decision-makers and stakeholders.
The text is organized into twelve chapters, beginning with key facts about crime and definitions of policy effectiveness. Subsequent chapters analyze the impact of policing methods, court processes, and correctional strategies within institutions and the community, as well as interventions in juvenile justice. The book references evaluation tools and summarizes findings about law enforcement tactics, specialized courts, rehabilitation and treatment options, technology in supervision, and prevention strategies for youth. Each chapter details what strategies work, do not work, or hold promise for future implementation based on current research.
What Works to Reduce Crime is suitable for courses in criminal justice, criminology, public policy, and related fields. It may also support curriculum needs in sociology, law, and social work programs that address policy evaluation and crime prevention.
