It is a truism that the administration of criminal justice consists of a series of discretionary decisions by police, prosecutors, judges, and other officials. Taming the System is a history of the fortyyear effort to control the discretion. It examines the discretion problem from the initial discovery of the phenomenon by the American Bar Foundation in the 1950s through to the most recent evaluation research on reform measures. Of enormous value to scholars, reformers, and criminal justice professionals, this book approaches the discretion problem through a detailed examination of four decision points: policing, bail setting, plea bargaining, and sentencing. In a field which largely produces shortranged evaluation research, this study, in taking a wider approach, distinguishes between the role of administrative bodies (the police) and evaluates the longerterm trends and the successful reforms in criminal justice history.

I expected 'Taming the System' to be more engaging, but it felt like I was trudging through a textbook. Some chapters were repetitive and didn’t provide new insights. Not what I was hoping for, honestly, but maybe it works better for academics than casual readers.

A Deep Dive into Justice System Control
Reading 'Taming the System' was eye-opening! The author's insights into discretion in criminal justice from 1950 to 1990 are incredibly relevant today. I appreciate the blend of historical context with critical analysis of policies. It’s a must-read for anyone studying criminal justice or public policy.
