In The battle on Neighborhoods, Ryan Lugalia-Hollon and Dan Cooper interview citizens, cops, group activists, judges, businesspeople, and those that were out and in of the penal method in Austin, a majority black local on Chicago's West facet, the place the incarceration price is forty-two occasions better than the highest-ranked white neighborhood. via first-hand reporting and cautious research, Lugalia-Hollon and Cooper convey how punitive sanctions have systematically maintained a perpetual kingdom of sickness and disenfranchisement in the neighborhood instead of a feeling of public security and safety.
