Building Violence: How America's Rush To Incarcerate Creates More Violence

Bys: May, John P. and Pitts, Khalid R.

Book Overview

This clearly written book exposes the underlying errors of a failing system while suggesting new ways to approach such a monumental problem as the increasing violence in America. It urges us to rethink the incarceration policy, especially as it intersects with race, social class, gender, morality, technology, the media, profiteering and legislated messages of prejudice, fear, and violence.
