Today's Guardian (UK) has an
opinion piece entitled "Lessons in Law and Order," that describes what I think is still an under-reported story: that New York has achieved startling reductions in crime without swelling prisons. The op-ed grows out of a report from
the Commission on English Prisons Today on their recent visit to the United States, which included a trip to visit the Red Hook Community Justice Center.
