In this concise and valuable collection of essays, Louis J. Gesualdi provides readers with an understanding of peacemaking criminology. Peacemaking criminology is a humane, nonviolent, and scientific approach in its treatment of crime and the offender. It looks at crime as just one of the many types of suffering that exemplify human life. Efforts to put a stop to such suffering-according to peacemaking criminologists-should take into account a main rebuilding of Americas social institutions, such as the economic system, the criminal justice system, and the health care system so that they no longer create suffering. The United States as a society pays no notice to prevention, but rather adheres to the belief of imprisonment and punishment. The twelve essays in this book focus on how peacemaking criminology aids in the prevention of crime, the rehabilitation of offenders, and involves the core principles of social justice and human rights.

Louis Gesualdi is professor of sociology at the College of Professional Studies, St. Johns University.
