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.
