A look into the role of how America's drug policies impact African Americans and crime in their own neighborhoods.

The New York Times said in a review of the book, "The history of black people’s ability to express and to act on their punitiveness — to be tough on crime — is at the heart of a fascinating though severely flawed new book by Michael Javen Fortner."
