<p>American education is undergoing rapid change. Concern over poor student performance, the ability and motivation of teachers, and the inefficiency of school bureaucracy have led to numerous recommendations for changing the structure of American education. These vary from small changes in the current structure to wholesale privatization of public schools. The contributions in this book discuss a wide range of proposals, including greater school choice, charter schools, promoting contact with the business community, public-private partnerships, and more. Several chapters assess the current research on choice and restructuring. Overall the consensus is that proposed reforms have a good chance of yielding significant benefits.</p>

<p>As more areas of government experience budget problems, the search for efficient and cost effective services has intensified. Private sector involvement is under heavy consideration. Twenty-eight original essays reflect expert opinions in three areas: police, adjudication, and corrections. Included are two reprinted articles, by Warren Burger, former Chief Justice of the United States and Richard Nealy, Chief Justice of the West Virginia Supreme Court. Perspectives range from desirability to implementation. Part one analyzes public and private provision of the various police functions with an evaluation of private police services. Part two focuses on the supply of private judiciary services in civil cases. Part three looks at privatizing correctional services, from supplies to complete private management.</p>
