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. 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Criminology$2bisacsh 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Criminology. 676 $a365.068 700 $aSoyer$b Michaela, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01453607 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910749701203321 996 $aThe Price of Freedom$93656392 997 $aUNINA
