Elders, Crime, and the Criminal Justice System: Myth, Perceptions, and Reality in the 21st Century - Softcover
This book provides an analysis of interactions between older people and the criminal justice system. The editors present current research on elders in a variety of roles, from victim and offender to attorney, defendant, witness, juror, and prisoner. Specific chapters focus on the psychological and medical conditions of elder prisoners, and on issues around selective decarceration. Each contributor documents empirical data and identifies social, policy, and ethical implications. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Review:
"By invoking issues around critical economic, psychological, and sociological aspects of the lives of older men and women--portrayed in various roles in the legal process and courts--this book reopens long-standing questions about the meanings and experiences of growing older."
--from the foreword by W. Andrew Achenbaum and Mary A. Schieve
