Lockdown America: Police and Prisons in the Age of Crisis

Exploring the intersection of criminal justice and American politics, the book delves into the historical and social factors that have shaped the current landscape.

By analyzing the implications of a punitive justice system, it raises critical questions about democracy, social equity, and the role of government in regulating behavior. The work challenges readers to rethink the implications of a society increasingly defined by crime and punishment.
