Why is there so much uncertainty about how to reduce crime and fix what's wrong with the criminal justice system? How can we make these fixes and lower the high costs of incarceration?
UNCERTAIN JUSTICE discusses recent problems and suggests some fixes. To this end, it presents a commentary based on a recent series of press releases on current issues and is divided into these sections:
- Improving citizen-police relationships
- Promoting prison reform and better prison sentencing
- Healing the divisions in American society
- Dealing with illegal immigration
- Coping with the opioid crisis
- Portraying the criminal justice crisis in popular culture
- Using a social media and video campaign to help fix the criminal justice system.
The chapters in each section highlight what's wrong in response to recent developments in legislation, in the news, and in research reports. Then, each chapter concludes with some suggestions for reforming the system.
Today, these fixes are needed more than ever, given the spiraling costs of crime and imprisoning too many prisoners for much longer than necessary. As the book describes, we need to have as many productive, understanding, legal, law-abiding citizens as possible to move the country forward.

Why are there so many divisions America? What can we do to fix these divisions that are tearing the U.S. apart?
FRACTURED AMERICA discusses these many divisions and how to fix them. It begins by looking at the first racial divide going back to Civil War times. Then, it fast forwards to discuss the present conflicts, such as the controversy over the killings of blacks by cops and the Black Lives Matter movement. It describes the difficulty of ending segregation and ending or delaying affirmative action.
Additionally, the book points out other divides based on:
- geography and politics, including the nationality and language divides caused by undocumented immigrants,
- the North-South divide,
- the division between the Coasts and Middle America,
- rural and urban American differences,
- conflicts between different ethnic groups,
- lifestyles of younger and older generations.
- the income inequality between the rich and poor, which is getting wider.
The book concludes with some suggestions for reforming the system. These are fixes that are desperately needed, as uncivility and violence between groups are getting worse -- unless we do something to create a new unity in the U.S. This book will help you think of ways to heal the growing divisions.
