In America today, one in every hundred adults is behind bars. As
our prison population has exploded, 'law and order' interest groups
have also grown -- in numbers and political clout. In The Toughest
Beat, Joshua Page argues in crisp, vivid prose that the Golden
State's prison boom fueled the rise of one of the most politically
potent and feared interest groups in the nation: the California
Correctional Peace Officers Association (CCPOA). As it made great
strides for its members, the prison officers' union also
fundamentally altered the composition and orientation of the penal
field. TheToughest Beat is essential reading for anyone concerned
with contemporary crime and punishment, interest group politics,
and public sector labor unions.
