Society Under Control

In the past 30 years, our attitudes toward crime have changed dramatically. We live in gated communities, prison populations have skyrocketed, and issues like racial profiling, community policing, and “zero-tolerance” policies dominate the headlines.

This book explores the culture of control that has come to dominate our thinking about crime and its consequences. It examines the role of neoconservative politics, the media, and fear in shaping public opinion about crime. It also explores the impact of mass incarceration on communities of color, the erosion of civil liberties, and the challenges of reentry.

The culture of control has had a profound impact on our societies. It has led to a decline in social trust, a rise in inequality, and a loss of freedom. It has also eroded civil liberties and made our communities less safe.

This book is a call to action for a more just and humane approach to crime and punishment, one that is based on prevention, rehabilitation, and restorative justice. It argues that we need to invest in education, job training, and mental health services. We need to reform our criminal justice system to make it more fair and effective. And we need to build stronger communities that are less likely to produce crime.

**The culture of control is a powerful force, but it is not inevitable. We can change it. We can create a more just and humane society, one where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential.**
