CHARLES N. ALEXANDER, KENNETH G. WALTON, DAVID ORME-JOHNSON, RACHEL S. GOODMAN AND NATHANIEL J. PALLONE

FROM THE PREFACE: “Thirty years ago, people in this country said, "We've got a crime problem. i Neve sing do ab i this even be pop tire people in would go down. Still, we went ahead with it, only to find out that as incarceration rates rose, so did the crime rate. Then we said, "This doesn't work. Let's try a few more things." We tried aggression training, education, job training, counseling, and other programs. We jumped into them all, spending billions across the country with nothing to support any realistic expectation of a reasonable retum for the dollar. Throughout these same years, criminality among our poor has risen, recidivism perpetuates, and our cities have become places where we used to live. Our state budgets have less and less to do with schools, teachers, and students-and more to do with prisons, prosecutors, and inmates…”

Prediction in Criminology

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

Edited by DAVID P. FARRINGTON AND ROGER TARLING

FROM THE PREFACE: Prediction has always been an important topic in criminology. • Prediction instruments have been used extensively to aid criminal justice decisionmakers, most notably in selecting prisoners for parole. Current uses of prediction methods include the identification of offenders for a policy of "selective incapacitation" and the identifiction of dangerous offenders. Prediction methods are also used to evaluate different kinds of penal treatments and to assess the likely effects of penal policy changes on the criminal justice system. As a by-product of this substantive research, a good deal of attention has been paid to the statistical and methodological issues involved in constructing sound prediction instruments.
