Nu Corrections in a Nu Age: Systematically Reducing Crime in Bloomington, MN

NU CORRECTIONS IN A NU AGE presents a thorough, well-researched, and well rehearsed proposal for how to train prisoners in the behaviors of a responsible citizen so they do not return to crime and prison. In the process, several successful projects have been created along the way that embody the principles proposed in this project. Based on this experience, this book is designed to create a model to systematically reduce crime.
