Jenness and Calavita receive Edwin Sutherland Book Prize

  The Law and Society Division of the Society for the Study of Social Problems (SSSP) has conferred the Edwin Sutherland Book Prize on the book, Appealing to Justice. In addition, the work was cited by New Yorker magazine in the May 30th issue:

"According to researchers at the University of California, Irvine, only two percent of grievances filed in California between 2005 and 2006 were “granted in full” at the first level of review. “What we find is a system fraught with impediments and dilemmas that delivers neither justice, nor efficiency, nor constitutional conditions of confinement,” the professors Kitty Calavita and Valerie Jenness wrote in Appealing to Justice, a book about their research."
