How do you measure impact? Is it possible to spread new practices to resistant audiences? And what's the point of small-bore experimentation anyway? Greg Berman answers these questions by telling the story of successful experiments like the Red Hook Community Justice Center in Brooklyn and by detailing the challenges of implementing new ideas within the criminal justice system. As Laurie Robinson, a professor at George Mason University, writes in her introduction: \"Berman offers vivid testimony that-even in the face of opposition-it is, in fact, possible to push our criminal justice system closer to realizing its highest ideals. And that, indeed, is good news.\" Other experts share their opinions: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"The central insight of \u003ci\u003eReducing Crime, Reducing Incarceration\u003c\/i\u003e is that small tweaks in practice within the criminal justice system can sometimes lead to big change on the streets.

In \u003ci\u003eReducing Crime, Reducing Incarceration\u003c\/i\u003e, Berman offers a look at how change happens at the local level-and how, sometimes, it doesn't.

In this book, Berman offers a clear-eyed and inventive approach to the problem. Recognizing that change is best achieved at the local level with small, incremental steps using demonstration projects, Berman provides concrete examples of both successes and failures stemming from the work of the Center for Court Innovation over the last two decades.
