Description:

Designed for students and practitioners of criminal justice and those involved in the management of American correctional institutions, this study examines the consequences of the increasing involvement of federal judges in the management of state penal systems in the USA.

Synopsis:

The federal courts are now heavily involved in the reform of prisons in the US. This collection of analyses by noted criminologists provides a much needed look at the consequences of such judicial intervention. In his introduction and conclusion, John DiIulio discusses the general points to be drawn, proposes an agenda for further research, and offers policy recommendations.
