The Prison and the Gallows: The Politics of Mass Incarceration in America - Cambridge Studies in Criminology
Gottschalk, Marie (University of Pennsylvania)
Throughout American history, crime and punishment have been central features of American political development. This 2006 book examines the development of four key movements that mediated the construction of the carceral state in important ways: the victims' movement, the women's movement, the prisoners' rights movement, and opponents of the death penalty.
