Emerging Criminal Justice

Three Pillars for a Proactive Justice System

Certain to stimulate thinking and debate in academic and professional arenas, Emerging Criminal Justice presents a new model for crime control that replaces the `war on crime' and other failed models. The book avoids the use of unnecessarily complex language and phraseology, but cuts straight to the heart of what Paul H Hahn refers to as the `three pillars for a new proactive criminal justice system' that include: expanded notions of community policing; community corrections; and restorative justice.

The book invites its readers to take a good look at the entire criminal justice system, as a whole, and consider a new paradigm for understanding and correcting the system and most of its elements.
