SynopsisU.S. crime rates fell for most of the 1990s, but sociologists warn that these downward trends cannot continue indefinitely. The authors in this volume examine the factors that influence crime-focusing on the economy, prison and sentencing policies, and gun control laws-in the following chapters: What Causes Crime? Does Controlling Guns Control Crime? How Should the Criminal Justice System Be Reformed? How Can Crime Be Reduced?
