Description
In this incisive work, Beth Richie examines how the criminal legal system shapes—and too often limits—the lives of people, particularly in the context of race, gender, and community safety. Drawing on research and lived realities, she traces the ways policing, prosecution, and punishment can become forms of “justice” that reproduce harm rather than deliver accountability. Arrested Justice offers a high-level look at the human consequences of mass incarceration and the barriers to fair treatment, while also highlighting the resilience and organizing that challenge these systems. Rich in analysis and grounded in social justice concerns, the book is a powerful contribution to conversations about reform, legitimacy, and what true public safety should mean.
