He then moves on to discuss crime and its relationship to poverty, as well as the impact of the criminal justice system on society.Thomson also explores the issue of social inequality, particularly in terms of gender and race. He examines the ways in which women and minorities were discriminated against and marginalized during this time period, and the impact that this had on society as a whole.Throughout the book, Thomson argues that these social problems are interconnected and cannot be addressed in isolation.
