After a summer of violent protests in 2020-sparked by the deaths of
George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Rayshard Brooks-a dangerously
false narrative gained mainstream acceptance: Criminal justice in
the United States is overly punitive and racially oppressive. But,
the harshest and loudest condemnations of incarceration, policing,
and prosecution are often shallow and at odds with the available
data. And the significant harms caused by this false narrative are
borne by those who can least afford them: black and brown people
who are disproportionately the victims of serious crimes. In
Criminal (In)Justice, Rafael A. Mangual offers a more balanced
understanding of American criminal justice, and cautions against
discarding traditional crime control measures. A powerful
combination of research, data-driven policy journalism, and the
author's lived experiences, this book explains what many reform
advocates get wrong, and illustrates how the misguided commitment
to leniency places America's most vulnerable communities at risk.
The stakes of this moment are incredibly high. Ongoing debates over
criminal justice reform have the potential to transform our society
for a generation-for better or for worse. Grappling with the
data-and the sometimes harsh realities they reflect-is the surest
way to minimize the all-too-common injustices plaguing
neighborhoods that can least afford them.
