Abstract: Current criminal justice policy in the United States costs billions annually and provides little in return but despair. “Neighborhoods, jobs, and families,†is a catch phrase for a successful crime prevention formula. Ultimately neighborhoods, jobs, and families must also serve as the foundation for reform of policing methods, court processes, sentencing, and corrections.
