Brakke, Paul: - Paul Brakke is a scientist based in the Little Rock, Arkansas area. He became interested in studying the criminal justice system because, as described in his first book American Justice?, his life was turned upside down by the system. He has previously told his wife's story along with a critique of the criminal justice system in American Justice? After that, Brakke went on to look at other problems in the system and the country in general and how to fix them. His other books include: Crime in America, Fractured America, The Costly U.S. Prison System, Fixing the U.S. Criminal Justice System, Dealing with Illegal Immigration and the Opioid Crisis, The Price of Justice in America, and Cops Aren't Such Bad Guys. To publish them, he set up a publishing company American Leadership Books, featuring books on criminal justice and social issues, which are available in print and e-books through Amazon, Ingram, Kindle, and other major distributors. Since these first books were directed primarily at law enforcement professionals, politicians, and academics, Brakke is now developing a series of books on criminal justice to appeal to the general public, especially to conservatives. The books' website is: www.americanleadershipbooks.com.
