The United States has poured over a billion dollars into a network
of interagency intelligence centers called "fusion centers." These
centers were ostensibly set up to prevent terrorism, but
politicians, the press, and policy advocates have criticized them
for failing on this account. So why do these security systems
persist? Pacifying the Homeland travels inside the secret world of
intelligence fusion, looks beyond the apparent failure of fusion
centers, and reveals a broader shift away from mass incarceration
and toward a more surveillance- and police-intensive system of
social regulation. Provided with unprecedented access to domestic
intelligence centers, Brendan McQuade uncovers how the
institutionalization of intelligence fusion enables decarceration
without fully addressing the underlying social problems at the root
of mass incarceration. The result is a startling analysis that
contributes to the debates on surveillance, mass incarceration, and
policing and challenges readers to see surveillance, policing, mass
incarceration, and the security state in an entirely new light.
