Since the 1980s, US policing and punishment have been remade into tools for stripping resources from the nation's most oppressed communities and turning them into public and private revenues. \u003cem\u003eLegal Plunder\u003c\/em\u003e analyses this development's origins, operations, consequences, and the political struggles that it has created.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on historical and contemporary evidence, including original ethnographic research, Joshua Page and Joe Soss examine the predatory dimensions of criminal legal governance to show how practices that criminalise, police, and punish have been retrofitted to siphon resources from subordinated groups, subsidise governments, and generate corporate profits. As tax burdens have declined for the affluent, this financial extraction—now a core function of the country's sprawling criminal legal apparatus—further compounds race, class, and gender inequalities and injustices. \u003cem\u003eLegal Plunder\u003c\/em\u003e shows that we can no longer afford to overlook legal plunder or the efforts to dismantle it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46792012595436,"sku":"9780226841168","price":90.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/ed224f51777558232edf48782f27a85e.jpg?v=1757060479"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/joe-soss.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
