Summary
AnEternity1987 Book of the Year!Winner of a 1987 ECPA Gold Medallion Award!Daniel Van Ness takes a long, hard look at the criminal justice system process, showing how it is divorced from the needs of the people involved. He describes how the present system evolved and examines the biblical perspective on law. Drawing from his own legal career, he offers a fresh and wholistic approach to crime, giving practical advice on prevention, punishment and public policy reform.
