Punishment and Inequality in America
Avis (10)
7 Juillet 2015Five Stars
Good book.
16 Janvier 2015Four Stars
Received as advertised.
31 Octobre 2014Four Stars
I used this to study criminology in a university class.
18 Novembre 2013Good, but dull
Informative, but it has almost nothing but statistics, so it makes it a very dull read.
5 Juillet 2013Weak and Politically Biased
It's all Republicans and white people's fault.
8 Janvier 2013Racism and our Legal System
Punishment and Inequality is the culmination of an eight-year project by author Bruce Western, a sociology professor at Harvard, who sought to examine how America's penal system has become a major player in determining the life course of many young black and brown Americans today.

10 Mai 2010Interesting analysis
Bought for a public policy class.
1 Juillet 2009A critically important book
This books documents the stratification of American society; with irrefutable documentation it proves that India is far from being the only country with a caste system.

Since the 1970's, the American penal process has changed drastically from a rehabilitative focus to one of incapacitation, deterrence and punishment.
