From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime

 

Title:  From the War on Poverty to the War on Crime: The Making of Mass Incarceration in America

Author: Elizabeth Hinton

Publisher: Harvard

 
ISBN: 9780674737235

Thoughts:  Interesting look at how the war on poverty led to over-policing in African-American areas, but it felt like it was written in the the time it covered, so much so that the epilogue seemed incongruous.
