    In 2000, U.S. agencies surpassed the $100-billion-a-day barrier in spending to incarcerate individuals with serious addiction problems. Rehabilitating and managing offenders who misuse alcohol has proven to be extraordinarily difficult. Despite traditional sanctions and ever-increasing terms of incarceration, addiction drives many of these offenders to continue committing crimes, resulting in a revolving door. Alcohol- and drug-involved offenders are overwhelming the criminal justice system, creating unwieldy court dockets, burdensome caseloads, and overcrowded jails and prisons. Yet, programs and sanctions have had little impact on the rate of alcohol-involved crime.

  • Critical Criminology

    Crime according to critical criminologists is political as it is responded to by those in power. Critical Criminologists want to gain an understanding of society and the state and how these two impact upon each other (Scraton & Chadwick 1998). Critical Criminologists want to turn away from other theories of crime and concentrate on inequalities within structures and power relations of different societies. There has been significant work on the relationship between deviants and the relationship they have with the state and the control and power the state has over them (Newburn, 2007). Punishment to critical criminologists is viewed as being associated with a system of social inequality and it can worsen and even produce the inequality itself

    Last week in lecture we learned that crime statistics weren't real indicators of the amount of underlying criminal activity and this seems to be the case in the readings for the week, where there are a lot of discrepancies on whether crime, in certain areas and across the nation as a whole, is increasing or decreasing. The statistics in Tab 5 highlighted the fact that crime rate has been higher in recent years, i.e. 4.1% higher in 2016 than 2016, but a lot lower than previous decades, i.e. 12.3% lower than it was in 2007. The articles in Tab 6 show an inconsistency in messages, with one asserting that crime in the Los Angeles County has increased while crime in California as a whole has decreased and another article stating that crime in New
