In Their Names

The book challenges the prevailing belief that mass incarceration aids crime victims, presenting a new vision for public safety that addresses the actual needs of victims. Lenore Anderson critiques how the victims' rights movement has led to policies that exacerbate trauma rather than alleviate it. With a well-researched approach, she calls for a transformative shift in crime policy, emphasizing healing and justice for all. This urgent message is relevant for both policymakers and the general public, aiming to bridge the gap between public safety systems and victims' true safety needs.
