WHY
CRIME? An Integrated Systems Theory of Antisocial Behavior
(2004). Upper
Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall.
This
book examines criminogenic factors
that have
been studied by various academic disciplines and offers a new
integrated
systems theory of antisocial behavior. It also lays out
strategies for preventing criminality that are based on empirical
evidence rather than philosophical or ideological arguments (360
pages).
What the reviewers say:
- Criminologist Anthony Walsh calls the
book "engaging,
extremely well written," and notes that it makes "major contributions
to criminology." Walsh also says: "Robinson's book is a tour de
force for the
criminologist who wants to learn something about the biosocial
perspective."
- Criminologist Frank Schmalleger calls the
work "among the best work being done in the
area of theoretical integration today."

What the reviewers say:
- "Any
institution that is interested in taking a critical approach to
criminal justice issues could benefit from this text... This text can
contribute to the development of a student's critical thinking skills."
-- Gwen Hunnicutt,
University of North Carolina at Greensboro
- "This
text definitely stands out as one of the more current and critical
examinations of our justice system." -- Charles A. Brawnier,
Heartland
Community College
- "The
comprehensiveness of this critical exposition sets it apart from other
critical, treatises. It is-in fact a compendium of the separate issues
targeted by individual critics in the critical criminological community
in a straightforward, easy to read textbook. For this reason, it
should be essential, reading for not only those audiences earlier
identified, but also for general audiences who wish to understand why
the criminal justice system behaves as it does." -- E.J. Williams,

This book
provides a solid yet brief background on the major issues pertaining to
America's war on drugs. It covers topics such as the role of
ideology and claims-making in policy formation and the drug war, policy
analysis, the history of America's drug war at home and abroad, goals
of the drug war, agencies that fight the drug war, and the drug war
budget (268 pages).
The book also presents a study of seven years (2000-2006) of the Office
of National Drug Control Policy's (ONDCP) National Drug Control Strategy
which "directs the Nation's anti-drug efforts and establishes a
program, a budget, and guidelines for cooperation among Federal, State,
and local entities." The Strategy is the primary mechanism
through which the White House and the federal agencies involved in the
war on drugs communicate with the American people about the drug war.
We are interested in how ONDCP uses statistics to make claims about the
nation's drug war, and whether these claims are accurate, honest,
transparent, and justifiable. Since ONDCP regularly presents
graphs and figures to depict important drug war statistics, we also
critically analyze how it chooses to present the data visually.
The book offers the methodology and findings of our study, including
claims by ONDCP related to its goals of reducing drug use, healing drug
users and disrupting drug markets, and reducing costs of drug use &
abuse. We show the specific ways in which ONDCP inappropriately
uses statistical information and visually presents graphical
information in order to continue to promote a drug war that
consistently has failed to meet its stated policy goals.
The book concludes with a fair assessment of America's drug war,
including both the costs and the benefits. We also offer
conclusions from the study and suggest policy implications of it.
The book contains
the following chapters:
Preface
Chapter 1:
Introduction
Chapter 2: About
the Drug War
Chapter 3:
Methodology
Chapter 4: Claims
of Success in
Reducing Drug Use
Chapter 5: Claims
of Success in Healing America's Drug Users and Disrupting Drug Markets
Chapter 6: Costs of
the Drug War
Chapter 7: A Fair
Assessment of the
Drug War
Chapter 8:
Conclusions and Policy Recommendations
What the reviewers say:
- "Every federal bureaucracy has to justify its budget,
and it does so by
setting goals and demonstrating how well it has or has not met those
goals. But, as Robinson and Scherlen so admirably demonstrate with
example after example of the misleading use of statistics and visual
graphics, ONDCP is, in many, many ways, distorting reality to paint a
rosier picture of its "successes" in waging the war on drugs. They do
so in a calm, deliberate, and understated manner rather than engaging
in a partisan attack on a set of policies they clearly feel are a
disaster ... "Lies, Damned Lies, and Drug War Statistics" is
surprisingly easy to
read, and Robinson and Scherlen have done a huge favor not only to
critics of current drug policy by compiling this damning critique of
ONDCP claims, but also to anyone interested in how data is compiled,
presented, and misused by bureaucrats attempting to guard their
domains. It should be required reading for members of Congress -- Drug War Chronicle, Issue
477. Read the rest of the review here
- "Robinson and Scherlen have provided a thorough
critique of the claims
made by those in charge of the drug war. This book will no doubt prove
to be a valuable resource for those trying to make sense of a war that
has created so much havoc within our society. Incidentally, the first
two chapters provide the reader with an excellent overview on the how
the drug war came to be, including a brief history of anti-drug
legislation. For those not familiar with this history, these chapters
will provide much needed information to fill this gap. Read it, learn
from it, use it. -- Randall
Shelden, University of Nevada Las Vegas. Read the rest of
the review here
- "Robinson and
Scherlen make a valuable contribution to documenting how the Office of
National Drug Control Policy fails to live up to basic standards of
accountability and consistency." -- Ethan Nadelmann, author of Psychoactive Drugs and Harm Reduction:
From Faith to Science, and Executive Director, Drug Policy
Alliance (http://www.drugpolicyalliance.org/)
- "Dr. Robinson
and Dr. Scherlen have performed a valuable service to our democracy
with their meticulous analysis of the White House ONDCP public
statements and reports. They have pulled the sheet off what
appears to be an official policy of deception using clever and
sometimes clumsy attempts at statistical manipulation. This
document, at last, gives us a map to the truth." -- Mike Gray, Author, Drug Crazy, and Chairman, Common
Sense for Drug Policy (http://www.csdp.org/)
- "'LIES' is a
thorough indictment of ONDCP. Much of Robinson and Scherlen's
analysis reads like prose, revealing the indignation of scientists
exposing insidious lies, unaccountable policies and failed objectives
-- all supported by federal tax dollars." -- Nora Callahan, November
Coalition (http://www.november.org/)
- "[I]n a word it
is magnificent. While the book is quite thorough, it is also
amazingly concise and easy to read ... an excellent job of completely
deconstructing and debunking everything the ONDCP claims." -- Brian Bennett, Former US
Intelligence Analyst and author of truth:
the Anti-Drugwar (http://www.briancbennett.com/)
- "Lies, Damn
Lies and Drug War Statistics: A Critical Analysis of Claims-Making by
the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) in its National Drug
Control Strategy" is as clear as its lengthy title implies. The
authors systematically demonstrate empirically the many ways in which
the ONDCP has lied over the past [7] years in its annual report of the
war on drugs. The authors' analysis clarifies the despicable
actions of the ONDCP and greatly contributes to the arguments of drug
policy reformers everywhere."
-- Jack Cole,
Executive Director, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (http://www.leap.cc/)
- "This is an
impressive compendium. I think it's especially effective when you
rebuke the ONDCP's claim slide-per-slide. Also, I'm glad you
brought up the fact that the agency has recently restructured their
budget numbers to give the impression that there is nearly equal
funding for treatment vs interdiction." -- Paul Armentano, NORML |
NORML Foundation (http://www.norml.org/)
- "... rather
impressive -- very thorough ... I was especially interested in your use
of "ideology" as a jumping off point for your critique. As a
philosophy student, I appreciate your pointing to the substance behind
ONDCP's madness -- i.e., it is all political based on the
dominant culture's morality."
-- Joseph White,

Death
Nation: The Experts Explain American Capital Punishment. Prentice
Hall. Released February 2007!
This
book
provides a solid yet brief background on the major issues pertaining to
capital punishment in the United States. It covers topics such as
the history of the death penalty in America, American death penalty
law, justifications for capital
punishment, as well as alleged problems with its practice (326 pages).
The book also presents a study of expert opinion of capital
punishment. The aim is to determine what published scholarly
experts think about the death penalty. Does it meet its
goals? Is it effective? Is it plagued by any serious
problems? Do the experts support it? What is the likely
future of capital punishment in the United States? And so forth.
The
book shows that a large majority of capital punishment experts do not
support capital punishment, feel that it is ineffective, and think that
it is plagued by serious
problems that make it unsustainable as a state-sanctioned
punishment. That is, experts do not think the death penalty
deters murder, prevents murder through an incapacitative effect, or
provides justice from crime victims' families or society. They
also believe the punishment is biased based on race and social class,
and that innocent people are subjected to the punishment. The
book concludes with a fair assessment of capital
punishment in the United States, including both the costs and the
benefits. I also offer
conclusions from the study and suggest a course of action for changing
America's death penalty practice.
The book contains
the following chapters:
Preface
Chapter 1: Capital Punishment Facts and History
Chapter 2: Death Penalty Law
Chapter 3: Methodology
Chapter 4: Justifications for Capital Punishment: Is the Death Penalty Effective?
Chapter 5: Alleged Problems with Capital Punishment: Is the Application of Death Penalty Plagued by Bias and Error?
Chapter 6: Death Penalty Opinion and the Future of Capital Punishment in America
What the reviewers say:
- "In his recently
published book, Death Nation, Matt
Robinson makes a unique
contribution to the
death penalty debate by presenting the results from his study of 45
death
penalty experts and their views on capital punishment. Robinson's
analysis is
very thorough and reading the responses of the experts is fascinating
... It is reassuring to know that most people who have studied
the death penalty for many years find it to be an archaic punishment
not worthy
of a modern, civilized society" --
death penalty scholar Robert Bohm, University of Central
Florida,
author of DeathQuest
III, America's
Experiment with Capital Punishment, The
Death
Penalty in America, and more.
- "The death penalty story is good and
... illuminating ... The author has provided a fair and balanced
approach to the many facets of the capital punishment policy debated in
the U.S." -- Christine
Ludowise, Georgia
Southern University
Justice Blind? Ideals and
Realities of American Criminal Justice
(3rd Edition). Prentice Hall. Released February 2008!
Considered for the Roy
C. Palmer Civil Liberties Prize
by the Chicago-Kent College of Law
Justice Blind? Ideals and
Realities of American Criminal Justice, 3rd Edition, provides
a thought-provoking critique of American criminal justice, one aimed at
bringing about real-world change in our political and criminal justice
agencies. It critically examines criminal justice and media processes
including the political and ideological nature
of law-making, crime, and terrorism. Other topics include policing,
bail and plea bargaining, sentencing,
punishment through incarceration and the death penalty, the war on drugs, and the role that race, class, and
gender play in criminal justice (523
pages).
What the reviewers say:
-
"This
text is an excellent example of critical criminology for introductory
students. The coverage of current issues is great, and Robinson
injects the importance of factors such as politics and the media. The
text inspires critical thinking in students!" -- Lisa Anne Zilney, Ph.D
Montclair State University
-
"Robinson
provides a rigorous social commentary regarding social institutions and
their roles in the criminal law making and criminal justice systems.
For example, the media as a player (rather than a reporter) in American
criminal justice is new to many students, and this is a challenge that
Robinson invites them to consider, with excellent information along the
way." -- Demetra Pappas,
Seton Hall University
-
"The
book's greatest strength is that it is more than just an introductory
text. It explains the[criminal justice] system and is realistically
critical of it." -- Gary R.
Perlstein, Portland State University
-
"I
like the author's willingness to challenge the conventional wisdom.
Critical criminology is crucial to the advancement of the field." --
Joan Crowley, New Mexico
State University.
