About this audiobook
What to do about a decades-long growth in the number of Americans behind bars.
That was the subject of a gathering of policy-makers, academics and law enforcement officials meeting in Washington today. It’s also the focus of new research released this week that questions how effective government has been at reducing crime.
Jeffrey Brown looks deeper with the author of one of the new reports, Jeremy Travis.
