Toward Liberty and Justice for All, a Pathway to a More Humane and Effective Justice System

By: James B. Rosenfield

The United States has the highest incarceration rate of any country, a perplexing statistic for the "land of the free" and "the home of democracy".Towards Liberty and Justice for All is a guide to justice and prison reform designed for policy makers and the social justice field. It reviews key issues impacting our justice system including inherent racial and socioeconomic bias and inefficiencies in policing, courts, sentencing, and incarceration.???????This book presents a new model called the Spectrum System which proposes fundamental changes aimed at reducing bias, creating meaningful rehabilitation, increasing prevention, and making the system more humane and effective at all levels. Not only can this be achieved with no net increase from current spending, it can provide billions of dollars per year in savings from the combined budgets of communities, states, and the federal government. The author lays out proposals for how this savings should be reallocated to better social services and resources for communities, victims, and offenders.
