To Punish and Protect: A Da's Fight Against a System That Coddles Criminals

I enjoyed a view of tough fair female prosecutor. I like her for our prosecutor.

excellent book ,i kind of had her figured out wrong.rub that lamp and she'll make it happen ..

I loved this book. I hope her critics were right about her seeking higher office, you know, like prez? We should all be so lucky as to have a state's attorney like Ms Pirro.

As the daughter of a homicide victim, I was deeply touched by Jeanine Pirro's sensitivity to all victims who have had their lives devastated by heinous criminals. The author clearly understands how in one split second a family can be nearly destroyed and left to rebuild their shattered lives with little help from a system that failed to protect them. This book should be required reading for all criminal justice students, politicians and community activists. Elected public officials would be well advised to heed the information set forth by DA Pirro. If they did so, stronger legislation would be enacted enabling the prosecution and punishment of offenders rather than wasting taxpayers dollars on coddling them. Why doesn't the government pay for the education of victims and the children of victims instead of providing masters degrees for those in jail. Jeanine Pirro - you have given a voice to those who can no longer speak for themselves. Thank you!

This is a fanscinating inside look at the horrors of violent crime and the police and prosecutors who fight to bring criminals to justice. Pirro makes a convincing argument that it is time to change the system and put the focus on the victim. She would rename the criminal justice system the VICTIMS' justice system. Excellent!
