Drawing on repeated in-depth interviews with incarcerated young men in the United States and Germany, Michaela Soyer argues that the apparent relative lenience of the German criminal justice system is actually founded on the violent enforcement of cultural homogeneity at the hands of the German welfare state. Demonstrating how both societies have constructed a racialized underclass of outsiders over time, this book emphasizes that criminal justice reformers in the United States need to move beyond European models in order to build a truly just, diverse society.SOCIAL SCIENCE / CriminologybisacshSOCIAL SCIENCE / Criminology.365.068Soyer Michaela, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1453607DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910749701203321The Price of Freedom3656392UNINA
