Professor Brandon Davis discusses race, criminal justice, and public policy. He explains how the criminal justice system - the Carceral State- has expanded greatly in the United States, and describes some of the consequences this has had on individuals, communities, and politics. In particular, he discusses the disparate impact that crime and punishment have on specific communities, and in particular on communities of color. He details the rise in mass incarceration and the Carceral State since the 1970s. Prof. Davis blames bad laws and public policies that have created bad incentives, more punitive policies, and too many negative outcomes for too many Americans. He explains what he calls the racialization of crime, and the criminalization of poverty, and the way this has politicized criminal justice policy. He discusses the impact of policing and incarceration on racial minorities.
