Exposing the myths

What I really like about this book is how it exposes and debunks the myths about crime that have shackled us to the failed status quo system. Everybody should read this book

YES! She really gets it!

This author starts from the genius principal that safety is a fundamental civil right. And as such, she examines how we can use concrete, finite metrics to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the criminal justice system in ensuring this fundamental right. I'd say she's not just SMART on crime, she's BRILLIANT!

FANTASTIC!!!

I've only read half the book so far and I could barely put it down long enough to write this review. The book is so insightful and her analysis is incredibly on-point because of her unique perspective and her extensive experience; it's that same experience that makes her so effective at explaining the solutions to crime...solutions that come not be being tough on crime or soft on crime, but rather by being smart on crime. It really is a must read!

Jane Hickie, Attorney

This book, so clearly and well written, describes a comprehensive and sensible approach for actually reducing crime. Kamala Harris is a non nonsense prosecutor who has thought about how to address the actual causes of crime, as well as appropriate punishments. Everyone who is concerned about the safety of our neighborhoods, now and in the future, needs to read this book and ask our friends in law enforcement and the judiciary to carefully consider her proposals for reform of the criminal justice system.
