One evening, while watching the news, Roger N. Lancaster was
startled by a report that a friend, a gay male school teacher, had
been arrested for a sexually based crime. The resulting hysteria
threatened to ruin the life of an innocent man. In this passionate
and provocative book, Lancaster blends astute analysis, robust
polemic, ethnography, and personal narrative to delve into the
complicated relationship between sexuality and punishment in our
society. Drawing on classical social science, critical legal
studies, and queer theory, he tracks the rise of a modern suburban
culture of fear and develops new insights into the punitive logic
that has put down deep roots in everyday American life.
