“Earnest, free of jargon, lucid…This is a book that ought to be read by anyone concerned about crime and punishment in America. “Important and thoughtful.” - Chicago Tribune “If legislators and citizens absorbed Currie's sound policy alternatives, they might stop lurching down the path he shows is departing more and more from both science and common sense.” - The New York Times Book Review “Persuasively demonstrates the debilitating effects of extreme poverty on children.If our crime policy were a stock, shrewd investors would be selling it short.” - David J. “Currie is an extraordinary sociologist who writes like a journalist.He offers a clear and compelling vision of how things could be different if the political will can be summoned to change the status quo.” - Los Angeles Times Sunday Book Review
