Books by Michael Tonry

For the American criminal justice system, 1975 was a watershed year. Offender rehabilitation and individualized sentencing fell from favor. The partisan politics of "law and order" took over. This book tells how policy and knowledge did and did not interact over time and charts prospects for the future.

Volume 30 is a survey volume of research on criminal justice issues, with a careful balance of research, theory, and practice.

Featuring articles by American and European scholars from many fields, this text provides an up-to-date and authoritative overview of policy issues and research developments concerning crime and violence among the young.
