Activists, policymakers, and scholars in the US have called for
policy reform and evidence-based efforts to decrease the number of
people in jail and prison, improve hostile police-community
relations, and rollback the "tough on crime" movement. Given that
poor people, particularly poor people of color, make up the
majority of those under carceral control in Western, industrial
countries, can technical solutions, gradual reforms, and
individual-level programming genuinely change the deeply entrenched
carceral state that has been expanding in the US for over 40 years?
In this book, the authors offer an examination of the creative
ideas that twelve US-based social justice organizations put forward
for how participation in social change might spur not only
individual-level change in young people, but community-wide
mobilization against the harms resulting from the "tough on crime"
movement and neoliberal policy. Using alternative programs grounded
in political and social consciousness-raising, these organizations
provide important and novel methods for how we might roll back
carceral expansion. Their approaches resonate with scholarship in
criminology and related fields; however, they sharply contrast with
popular notions of "what works". The authors detail how
community-based organizations must navigate not only these
scientific forces, but the bureaucratic and financial ones
consistent with neoliberal governance as well as the more
formidable, less navigable political barriers that activate when
organizations mobilize young people of color for social and
carceral reform. While aware of the formidable barriers they face,
the authors highlight the emancipatory potential of community-based
social justice organizations working with the most marginalized
young people across several major US cities. Written in an
accessible way, this book will be of interest to scholars,
students, progressive policymakers, practitioners, and activists
and their allies who are deeply troubled by the class and racial
disparities that pervade the carceral state.
