In a book that Van Jones calls a game changer and Baz Dreisinger calls a must-read, the founder of Alliance for Safety and Justice dispels the myth that mass incarceration benefits crime victims and offers a transformative new vision for public safety Hailed as a passionate and provocative indictment of how the victims rights movement has warped the American justice system (Publishers Weekly), In Their Names dispels the myth that mass incarceration benefits victims, and proposes a new public safety paradigm that recognizes victims true safety needs. Lenore Anderson, whom the distinguished criminologist David Kennedy calls one of the most effective criminal justice reformers America has ever had, demonstrates how, in the 1980s, victims rights political activism morphed into a demand for more incarceration in their names, while bringing about policies that fuel more trauma than they heal. Called well-researched, results-driven, and readable by Booklist, In Their Names deserves a wide audience, from policymakers to ordinary citizens alike, according to James Forman Jr., Yale Law School professor and author of the Pulitzer Prizewinning Locking Up Our Own. At a time when U.S. crime policy is increasingly debated in politics and media, the lessons and message of this book are currentand urgent. As renowned criminal justice author Nell Bernstein writes, Anderson offers a vision of justice and healing that is generous enough to encompass all of us. Now available in an accessible paperback format, this startling wake-up call (Susan Burton) argues persuasively for closing the gap between our public safety systems and victims, to heal cycles of violence and enhance public safety for all.
