The Carceral State and the Rise of Militarization
This chapter explores the issue of violence in the United States, the high incarceration rate, and the problem of gun violence. It discusses the books 'The New Jim Crow' and 'From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime' which argue that the defeat of Jim Crow was replaced by the war on crime and the rise of the carceral state. The chapter also delves into the historical context behind the rates of incarceration and the militarization of American policing.
