Crime and Criminals - Paperback

by Christina Fisanick (Editor)

Do prisoners have too many rights? Should older prisoners be released early? Are white-collar criminals given lighter sentences? Do tougher sentences deter crime? These and several other questions are debated and answered in this book. Readers benefit from more than one intelligent opinion on each topic. Essay sources include the Correctional Association of New York, Leadership Conference on Civil Rights Education Fund, American Civil Liberties Union, and the Government Accountability Office.
