Synopsis
This book explores s a wide diversity of opinions on the impact of mandatory minimum sentencing on crime, including the "three strikes" law. It discusses the inherent fairness of mandatory sentences: Are they discriminatory? Do they usurp judicial power and result in overcrowd prisons? Or do they protect children and deter repeat offenders? Readers will also look at alternatives to mandatory minimums, such as drug court supervision or extended treatment options.
