Criminal Justice Reform: Walla Walla's STAR Project & Other Stories

The future of our criminal justice system faces many challenges, including widespread public concern about the nature of policing, the appropriate discretion to be given judges in the sentencing of those convicted of crime, and the role and effectiveness of incarceration as well as alternative sentencing options in achieving a secure and just society.

This volume chronicles efforts to assure fair and equal treatment under the law, to reduce our over-use of incarceration, and to provide critical transition and reentry services for those coming back into the community from correctional facilities.
