About this ebook
The old approaches to fighting crime just aren't working. Two thirds of people released from prison commit anothercrime within two years. In Smart on Crime, career prosecutor Kamala D. Harris shatters the old distinctions, rooted in false choices and myths, and offers a compelling argument for how to make the criminal justice system truly, not just rhetorically, tough. Harris spells out the necessary shifts that will increase public safety, reduce costs, and strengthen our communities when our politicians and law enforcement officials learn how to become tough and smart on crime.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Please, do research on how she slept her way to power, took over the Willy Brown corruption machine and leeched herself into the white house. Her own words would hardly speak truth to her power.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Strip us of constitutional rights. This is a ridiculous book. No thanks.
