The most widely accepted explanations--the failed War on Drugs, draconian sentencing laws, an increasing reliance on private prisons--actually tell us much less than we like to think. Instead, Pfaff urges us to look at other factors, including a major shift in prosecutor behavior that occurred in the mid-1990s, when prosecutors began bringing felony charges against arrestees about twice as often as they had before"--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 365.973 Pf Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.973 Pf Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.973 Pf Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 365.973 Pf Checked In Add Copy to MyList
