The Price of Justice in America: Commentaries on the Criminal Justice System and Ways to Fix What's Wrong - Hardcover

by Paul Brakke (Author)

THE PRICE OF JUSTICE IN AMERICA features a series of blogs I have written about problems in the criminal justice system and how they might be fixed. I have been writing these blogs for my website (www.americanjusticethebook.com) as a follow-up to my book American Justice?

The chapters are divided into the following sections:

- the rising racial tensions, especially between the police and the black community

- problems in the prison and correctional system

- differences in the homicide rate in different communities and groups

- the relationship between homicide rate and drugs

- the role of the media in sensationalizing crime and contributing to problems in the criminal justice system
