A serious and sober discussion of a far-reaching trend
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Compiled and edited by Peter B. Kraska (Professor of Criminal Justice, Eastern Kentucky University), Militarizing The American Criminal Justice System: The Changing Roles Of The Armed Forces And The Police is a scholarly yet critical look at the history and current interconnection between the American military, traditionally meant to safeguard against threats to national security, and domestic law enforcement, which is traditionally meant to deal with internal problems such as crime, illegal drugs, and mob disorder. Exploring the potentially overwhelming repercussions of the increasing militarization of the criminal justice system, from the so called "war on drugs" to infiltration of advanced military technology into civilian society, the adaptation of military models such as boot camps and SWAT teams into policing, and much more, Militarizing The American Criminal Justice System is a serious and sober discussion of a far-reaching trend.
