Disorderly Conduct [Hardcover]

 
              This gathering of essays by the maverick social observer Bruce Jackson
        will stir memories, give insights, and provoke strong reactions. Selections
        range freely over a wide spectrum of American social conditions, public
        policy, and crime and punishment issues from the mid-1960s to the present.
        The essays remain remarkably fresh and crucially central to issues in
        contemporary American society. They will appeal to the general reader
        as well as to readers with more specialized interests in the criminal
        justice system and social policy.
