DESCRIPTION:Professor Jonathan Simon discusses his book,  Governing Through Crime – 
 How the War on Crime Transformed American Democracy and Created a Culture 
 of Fear\n “Ambitious and carefully reasoned...thought provoking...argues 
 that what sociologists are calling “mass incarceration” signals not 
 only a new approach to managing crime, but to managing society.”  - 
 Boston Review\n...\nAcross America today gated communities sprawl out from 
 urban centers, employers enforce mandatory drug testing, and schools screen 
 students with metal detectors.  How and when did our everyday world  become 
 dominated by fear, every citizen treated as a potential criminal?  In this 
 startlingly original work, Jonathan Simon traces this pattern back to the 
 1960s when declining confidence in government policies sent political 
 leaders searching for new models of governance.  The War on Crime offered a 
 ready solution to their problem: politicians redefined the ideal citizen as 
 a crime victim, one whose vulnerability opened the door to overweening 
 government intervention.  By the 1980s, this transformation of government 
 had spilled over into the institutions that affect daily life.  Soon our 
 schools, our families, our workplaces, and our communities were being 
 governed through crime...\n\n\n
