"Powerful, passionate and persuasive writing. A must read for every voter"

The USA sadly leads the modern world in rates of homicide, yet taxpayers pay more than $200 billion – for the privilege of incarcerating one in four of all men incarcerated on this planet.

But it could be different. The prestigious National Academy of Sciences and the World Health Organization confirm numerous examples where tackling the roots of violence not only stop victimization but also save lives and money.

In this short book, Waller describes these successes and their implications for politicians and voters so that they have the tools to stop violence – A Violence Prevention Act instead of more police, judges, and prisoners.

Updates

Updates taken from the US Bureau of Justice Statistics

Violent crime rates in the USA

21 million Americans (aged 12 or older) were victims of crime in 2008.

Of these five million were victims of assault and other acts of violence. For every 1,000 persons age 12 or older, there occurred: 1 rape or sexual assault, 2 robberies, 3 aggravated assaults, or 13 simple assaults. Some 16,000 persons were murdered. In addition, close to 12,000 persons lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes attributed to alcohol. 800,000 children were identified by child care agencies as victims of abuse or neglect within their family.

There were 16 million Americans who were victims of household burglary, motor vehicle theft, or theft.

Prisoner population in the USA increases to 2.4 million.

In 2008, 2.4 million people were incarcerated under the jurisdiction of federal, State or local authorities with another 4.9 million on probation or on parole. A combined total 7.3 million - 3.2% of all U.S. adult residents or 1 in every 31 adults. Waller calculates that 2.4 million is a rate of 750 per 100,000. More than seven times the comparable rate for Canada and France and five times that for England and Wales.

Expenditures on police, judicial and corrections increases to $214 billion
