The Punitive Turn in American Life by Michael S Sherry

Offers a political and cultural history of the ways in which punishment and surveillance have moved to the centre of American life and become imbued with militarized language and policies, chronicling the United States' slide into becoming a meaner, punishment-obsessed nation.
Michael S. Sherry is the Richard W. Leopold Professor of History Emeritus at Northwestern University.
