The rise of mass incarceration in the United States is one of the
most critical outcomes of the last half-century. Incarceration
Nation offers the most compelling explanation of this outcome to
date. This book combines in-depth analysis of Barry Goldwater and
Richard Nixon's presidential campaigns with sixty years of data
analysis. The result is a sophisticated and highly accessible
picture of the rise of mass incarceration. In contrast to
conventional wisdom, Peter K. Enns shows that during the 1960s,
70s, 80s, and 90s, politicians responded to an increasingly
punitive public by pushing policy in a more punitive direction. The
book also argues that media coverage of rising crime rates helped
fuel the public's punitiveness. Equally as important, a decline in
public punitiveness in recent years offers a critical window into
understanding current bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform.
