Aprašymas

          The sad truth is that the U.S. Criminal Justice System doesn’t work for many different reasons -- from our overflowing prisons to the destructive war on drugs and disproportionate effect on minority communities to conflicts between police and citizens and problems with prosecutors and the courts.  In FIXING THE U.S. CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, author Paul Brakke provides an in-depth look from a conservative perspective at the many flaws in the system and how to fix them.   The chapters in the book cover these

            - why our criminal justice system is a national shame

            - how families suffer severe collateral damage

            - alleged misconduct by the police

            - how powerful prosecutors misbehave

            - when judges show bias and exceed their judicial power

            - how the media makes matters worse with their sensationalized coverage

            - nine prescriptions to fix our broken criminal justice system

            This is an important, break-through book that shows the damage of the system not only to individuals accused of crimes but to their families, the economy, and society as a whole.
