Newsweek magazine goes criminal justice crazy

I get this magazine in the mail every week.

And this week I open it up and BAM! A new section titled, "Criminal Justice."

Stories include:


"The Death of the Death Penalty" (about America's move away from capital punishment)
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/09/25/the-death-of-the-death-penalty.html

"I Committed Murder" (about how executioners feel after they kill someone)
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/09/25/i-committed-murder.html

"I Ordered Death in Georgia" (one executioner's account)
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/09/25/ordering-death-in-georgia-prisons.html

"God, It’s Got to Stop" (one man's quest to end gang violence)
http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2011/09/25/god-it-s-got-to-stop.html


And finally, the magazine is worth reading again.

  1. "God, It's Got to Stop" sounds like the "pulling levers" approach, which has some evidence-based success. It sound like UNC-G's gang initiative project that is being used in areas of North Carolina. It makes sense, and it has research behind it.
