Research suggests that crime prevention is generally more effective than harsh punishment. But the public fears victimization and demands punishment for the perpetrators of its fears. Consequently, any policy that moves toward prevention, treatment, and alternative modes of punishment must simultaneously move toward reducing the level of victimization in a direct and readily comprehensible manner. The fifteen authors of this volume articulate a pragmatic crime policy for America which combines academic insights about crime prevention with the realities of contemporary politics. The studies collectively outline a coherent policy that centers on “minimizing harm,” as opposed to retribution, eliminating crime, or solving the social problems that generate criminal behavior. Minimizing harm implies a compromise between the best current research and the concerns of citizens. The book consists of four principal studies focusing on public attitudes toward crime, prevention, alternative sanctions, and drug policy. Each study is accompanied by two commentaries.

Ethical medical practice and treatment in psychiatry are based on the concept of first do no harm. However, this cannot, and does not, apply to forensic cases where there is no doctor–patient relationship and the forensic psychiatrist may indeed cause harm to the examinee. In this book, Robert Sadoff analyzes the ethical issues affecting forensic psychiatric practice, especially those promulgated by the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law. Within those guidelines, he looks at individual bias, vulnerability of the examinee, and potential harm to the mental health professional. The book discusses each of the procedures of the forensic expert separately with respect to minimizing harm. It has been written with an international audience in mind and features chapters reviewing the European and UK perspectives, by Emanuele Valenti and John Baird, respectively. Robert Sadoff addresses the long-term harm that can be either avoided or minimized through careful planning and application of ethical principles. He is not advocating that the harm can be totally eliminated, because that is impossible in the adversarial system in which forensic psychiatrists work. However, there are means by which harm may be minimized if care is taken during the assessment, the report writing, and the testimony phase of the proceedings. The book develops the scope of forensic psychiatry from the standpoint of administrative, civil and criminal cases. It presents the practical issues involved in conducting forensic psychiatric assessments under various conditions plus special considerations, such as bias, minimizing harm, developing a therapeutic approach, and elaborating on various vulnerable individuals who are frequently examined in forensic cases. These include juveniles, mentally retarded, autistic, sexual assault victims, the elderly, the organically damaged, the psychotic, and mentally disabled prisoners. Immigrants are covered in a chapter by Solange Margery Bertoglia. The ethical issues in conducting forensic psychiatric examinations and presenting psychiatric testimony in court are examined and discussed. Cases illustrating the difficulties involved punctuate the presentation. The book closes with a fascinating account of the legal perspective by Donna Vanderpool. In summary, this book illustrates the ethical and practical issues that affect forensic psychiatric practice. The question is not what we do, but how we do it, and which standards, ethical guidelines and personal values contribute to the total picture. Despite the fact that we cannot always adhere to the doctrine of "primum non nocere," we can minimize the harm caused inherently by the adversarial system in which we participate. Praise for Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychiatry "One of the founding giants of the forensic psychiatric field has written here far more than a "mere" ethics textbook. Instead, this compendium serves multiple purposes: it is a valuable primer on forensic techniques of examination and testimony, a model of best forensic practices, and an instruction on the most appropriately civilized way in which to conduct oneself as a forensic psychiatrist. The success of these multiple accomplishments clearly derives from characteristics of the author. In both sage advice to practitioners and in many revealing case examples, Dr. Sadoff displays the tact, good manners and sensitivity of a consummate gentleman – a term not always associated with the hurly-burly of courtroom work. The book's primary focus on avoiding harm to all the parties involved in the work places it on the moral high ground of the legal system in which participating clinicians must find a place."

(Cont.) we should save the numerically larger group. My goal is to defend John Taurek's criticism of the standard view of the role of numbers in morality, and to establish Taurek's position, despite its shortcomings, as a viable alternative to the standard view. After pointing out the under appreciated fact that in "Should the Numbers Count?" Taurek has two independent arguments for his conclusion, I proceed to defend both arguments from some of the more prominent objections that have been raised against them. I also discuss the role that fairness plays in the debate. Ultimately, in light of considerations derived from several of the objections that I address, it becomes clear that Taurek's first argument has to be rejected. In addition, several modifications have to be made in Taurek's overall position in order to make it consistent and plausible. However, the second argument, which focuses on the claim that interpersonal aggregates of losses or suffering carry little, if any, moral significance, and which, I argue, is a much more powerful and illuminating argument to begin with, stillremains to challenge the standard view. But Taurek's position is not without serious difficulties either - in the last section I point out and try to address several problems which should be a concern to anyone who is sympathetic to Taurek's views, including the problem of very large numbers. I do not claim to have the answers, and at best just offer a direction in which one may look for a solution. Chapter 3 (The Return of the Trolley): This chapter is about the Trolley Problem ...

This report contains five papers commissioned by the California Policy Seminar's Crime Policy Project. The papers outline the basic elements of a harm minimization policy for California: recognition that citizens are most concerned about violent crime; a focus on prevention programs that have proven they can reduce the amount of harm that violent crime produces; the use of alternative punishment to redirect available resources away from nonviolent criminals; a focus on a crime policy to counter violent crime rather than the lumping of violent crime into a general "get tough" policy; opportunities for intervention in the development cycle of children and youth as a cost-effective strategy for reducing violent crime; the expanded use of alternative punishment as a cost-effective means of managing all but the most dangerous offenders; and an approach for minimizing the harm caused by drug offenses and drug-related violent crime. Each paper is followed by shorter contributions from other leading criminologists who comment on and critique the arguments presented. (NCJRS).

Injuries are the leading cause of death and disability among people under age 35 in the United States. Despite great strides in injury prevention over the decades, injuries result in 150,000 deaths, 2.6 million hospitalizations, and 36 million visits to the emergency room each year. Reducing the Burden of Injury describes the cost and magnitude of the injury problem in America and looks critically at the current response by the public and private sectors, including: Data and surveillance needs. Research priorities. Trauma care systems development. Infrastructure support, including training for injury professionals. Firearm safety. Coordination among federal agencies. The authors define the field of injury and establish boundaries for the field regarding intentional injuries. This book highlights the crosscutting nature of the injury field, identifies opportunities to leverage resources and expertise of the numerous parties involved, and discusses issues regarding leadership at the federal level.
