520    Forty years in, the War on Drugs has done almost nothing 
       to prevent drugs from being sold or used, but it has 
       nonetheless created a little-known surveillance state in 
       America's most disadvantaged neighborhoods. Arrest quotas 
       and high-tech surveillance techniques criminalize entire 
       blocks, and transform the very associations that should 
       stabilize young lives--family, relationships, jobs--into 
       liabilities, as the police use such relationships to track
       down suspects, demand information, and threaten 
       consequences. Alice Goffman spent six years living in one 
       such neighborhood in Philadelphia, and her close 
       observations and often harrowing stories reveal the 
       pernicious effects of this pervasive policing. Goffman 
       introduces us to an unforgettable cast of young African 
       American men who are caught up in this web of warrants and
       surveillance--some of them small-time drug dealers, others
       just ordinary guys dealing with limited choices. All find 
       the web of presumed criminality, built as it is on the 
       very associations and friendships that make up a life, 
       nearly impossible to escape.
