In the United States today one in every thirtyone adults is under some form of penal control including one in eleven African American men How did the land of the free become the home of the worlds largest prison system Challenging the belief that Americas prison problem originated with the Reagan administrations War on Drugs Elizabeth Hinton traces the rise of mass incarceration to an ironic source the social welfare programs of Lyndon Johnsons Great Society at the height of the civil rights eraJohnsons War on Poverty policies sought to foster equality and economic opportunity But these initiatives were also rooted in widely shared assumptions about African Americans role in urban disorder which prompted Johnson to call for a simultaneous War on Crime The 1965 Law Enforcement Assistance Act empowered the national government to take a direct role in militarizing local police Federal anticrime funding soon incentivized social service providers to ally with police departments courts and prisons Under Richard Nixon and his successors welfare programs fell by the wayside while investment in policing and punishment expanded Anticipating future crime policymakers urged states to build new prisons and introduced law enforcement measures into urban schools and public housing turning neighborhoods into targets of police surveillanceBy the 1980s crime control and incarceration dominated national responses to poverty and inequality The initiatives of that decade were less a sharp departure than the full realization of the punitive transformation of urban policy implemented by Republicans and Democrats alike since the 1960s

In More God Less Crime renowned criminologist Byron R Johnson proves that religion can be a powerful antidote to crime The book describes how faith communities congregations and faithbased organizations are essential in forming partnerships necessary to provide the human and spiritual capital to effectively address crime offender rehabilitation and the substantial aftercare problems facing former prisoners There is scattered research literature on religion and crime but until now there has never been one publication that systematically and rigorously analyzes what we know from this largely overlooked body of research in a layfriendly format The data shows that when compared to current strategies faithbased approaches to crime prevention bring added value in targeting those factors known to cause crime poverty lack of education and unemployment In an age of limited fiscal resources Americans cant afford a criminal justice system that turns its nose up at volunteer efforts that could not only work better than the abysmal status quo but also save billions of dollars at the same time This book provides readers with practical insights and recommendations for a faithbased response that could do just that

11 Opening Remarks and Objectives Crimes against international law are committed by men not by abstract entities and only by punishing individuals who commit such crimes can the provisions of international law 2 be enforced This is perhaps the most renowned citation from the judgment of the Int national Military Tribunal at Nuremberg IMT In the six decades which have passed since the IMT judgment was handed down the recognition of the c cept of individual criminal responsibility for core international crimes has been significantly reinforced and developed particularly since the establishment of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia ICTY and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda ICTR in the 1990s and most recently the International Criminal Court ICC The media has of course played a crucial role in increasing awareness of this concept especially amongst the general populace Indeed the concept has arguably a much higher profile today than ever before in its history However the concept of individual criminal responsibility for core inter tional crimes is neither as straightforward nor as singlefacetted as might appear on first glance While the general principle behind the concept does not generate too many difficulties it is in its practical application that the more challenging aspects of the concept are brought to the fore Each of these challenging pects can also be described as a pertinent issue of the concept of individual criminal responsibility for core international crimes
