DESCRIPTION:The rise of mass incarceration in the United States is one of t
 he most critical outcomes of the last half-century.\n\nJoin us for a Chats 
 in the Stacks book talk with author Peter K. Enns\, associate professor in 
 the Department of Government\, and executive director of the Roper Center f
 or Public Opinion Research at Cornell. His new book Incarceration Nation (C
 ambridge University Press\; March 2016) offers a very compelling explanatio
 n of this outcome and helps us understand the forces that led the United St
 ates to becoming the world's leader in incarceration.\n\nEnns’ new book com
 bines in-depth analysis of Barry Goldwater and Richard Nixon's presidential
  campaigns with sixty years of data analysis\, and reveals how politicians 
 responded to an increasingly punitive public by pushing policy in a more pu
 nitive direction. He also argues that media coverage of rising crime rates 
 helped fuel the public’s “tough on crime” outlook that led to a rapid rise 
 in incarceration. Today\, the public’s less punitive views have resulted in
  bipartisan calls for criminal justice reform.\n\nRefreshments served and b
 ooks available for purchase. This event is hosted by Olin Library.
