Lerman examines the shift from rehabilitation to punitivism that has taken place in the politics and practice of American corrections. She argues that this punitive turn has had profoundly negative consequences for both crime control and American community life. Most strikingly, Professor Lerman's research shows that spending time in America's increasingly violent prisons strengthens inmates' criminal networks and fosters attitudes that increase the likelihood of criminal activity following parole.
