Parsimony and Other Radical Ideas About Justice

Groundbreaking concept: Based on a new report that caused a lot of buzz, called The Power of Parsimony. "Parsimony" is coming into the language, as in this October 2021 New York Times op-ed by Khalil Gibran Muhammad.
Prestigious Contributors: Including Matthew Desmond, Patrick Sharkey, Judge Nancy Gertner, Tracey Meares, Danielle Sered, and more.
Editor reputations: Travis and Western are among the best-known and most respected people working on American criminal justice reform (Travis was president of John Jay College of Criminal justice, among other relevant positions). Travis has been praised by Richard M. Aborn, president of the Citizens Crime Commission, as well as former NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton. Every person working in the space-on both sides of the aisle-will want this book.
Institutional Support: Will be published in partnership with The Square One Project, which will help promote, as will Arnold Ventures and the MacArthur Foundation, which has funded the book.
Author sales track: Jeremy Travis' previous book, But They All Come Back, has sold 4-5000 copies, per Rowman and Littlefield's sales (publisher has since gone out of business and exact figure is not available).
