Description

Book Synopsis
One-third of America's adult population has passed through the criminal justice system and now has a criminal record. This book argues that the broad reach of the criminal justice system has recast the relation between citizen and state, resulting in a sizable - and growing - group of second-class citizens.

Trade Review
"A landmark book. It shines a bright light on the myriad ways that criminal justice policies are undermining American democracy. This book will be tremendously important and a must-read for scholars working in relevant areas of the social sciences." (Joe Soss, author of Disciplining the Poor)"
