Arresting Citizenship by Amy E Lerman
One-third of America's adult population has passed through the criminal justice system and now has a criminal record. An assessment of the contemporary carceral state, this book argues that the broad reach of the criminal justice system has recast the relation between citizen and state, resulting in a sizable group of second-class citizens.
"A landmark bookIt 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)"
