1. Punishment Without Crime
How Our Massive Misdemeanor System Traps the Innocent and Makes America More Unequal
This insightful exploration delves into the often-overlooked world of misdemeanor offenses in the American criminal justice system, revealing how these seemingly minor infractions can have profound and lasting impacts on individuals and communities. The book argues that the misdemeanor system is not just a minor part of the legal landscape but a significant driver of inequality and injustice, disproportionately affecting marginalized groups. Through meticulous research and compelling narratives, it sheds light on the systemic issues that perpetuate a cycle of punishment without meaningful accountability or reform, urging a reevaluation of how justice is administered at the most fundamental levels.
