However, too often, the theories carefully developed in the academy fail to make their way into programs and policy. The editors and contributors to this second edition of <i>Criminology and Public Policy </i>highlight the recent development of "translational criminology" to address the growing movement in criminology to use the results of criminological research and theory to better inform policy and practice. The essays in <i>Criminology and Public Policy</i> propose an in-depth look at both theory and practice and how they are integrated across a number of key criminal justice problems-from racial and environmental concerns to gun control and recidivism rates as well as police use of force and mass incarceration. The end result is an essential volume that blends both theory and practice in an effort to address the critical problems in explaining, preventing, responding to, and correcting criminal behavior. <i>Contributors include: Robert K.
