Argues that a policy of mass incarceration is ineffective and that prison expenditures could have greater impact on criminal violence if spent on prevention and rehabilitation programs.
Elliott Currie je medzinárodne uznávaným autoritom v oblasti mládeže a kriminality. Jeho diela sa ponárajú do zložitej tapisérie príčin a dôsledkov kriminality, pričom skúmajú, ako sociálne a ekonomické nerovnosti formujú jednotlivcov a komunity. Prostredníctvom svojho písania sa snaží odhaliť hlbšie sociálne hnacie sily, ktoré prispievajú k trestnej činnosti, a zdôrazňuje potrebu komplexných riešení. Jeho práca je výzvou na zamyslenie sa nad systémovými problémami, ktoré ovplyvňujú našu spoločnosť.
