| Item Description: | "During his first 100 days, President Trump has begun to outline a criminal justice strategy built to combat a phantom national crime wave, grounded in the outdated, and now discredited, 'tough on crime' attitude of the 1990s that helped create mass incarceration. The administration's few official acts in this area have focused on expanding the federal government's detention capacity, loosening oversight of local police departments, and signaling a desire to increase enforcement and prosecution for drug and other crimes. This is a remarkable shift from the approach of President Obama's administration. It is possible, however, that a bipartisan effort in Congress to reduce imprisonment of lower-level offenders could succeed." -- Conclusion, page 24. |
