Trial & Error in Criminal Justice Reform: Learning from Failure
"The premise of Trial & Error in Criminal Justice Reform by Greg Berman and Aubrey Fox of New York’s Center for Court Innovation is that research into criminal justice suffers because so much attention is paid to programs that succeeded and so little to the flops...the book aims to prompt changes in America but it has lessons for other countries too." – The Economist
