Specificatii
In his first year working in Los Angeles's Skid Row, Forrest Stuart
was stopped on the street by police fourteen times. Usually for
doing little more than standing there. Juliette, a woman he met
during that time, has been stopped by police well over one hundred
times, arrested upward of sixty times, and has given up more than a
year of her life serving week-long jail sentences. Her most common
crime? Simply sitting on the sidewalk--an arrestable offense in LA.
Why? What purpose did those arrests serve, for society or for
Juliette? How did we reach a point where we've cut support for our
poorest citizens, yet are spending ever more on policing and
prisons? That's the complicated, maddening story that Stuart tells
in Down, Out and Under Arrest, a close-up look at the hows and whys
of policing poverty in the contemporary United States. What emerges
from Stuart's years of fieldwork--not only with Skid Row residents,
but with the police charged with managing them--is a tragedy built
on mistakes and misplaced priorities more than on heroes and
villains. He reveals a situation where a lot of people on both
sides of this issue are genuinely trying to do the right thing, yet
often come up short. Sometimes, in ways that do serious harm. At a
time when distrust between police and the residents of
disadvantaged neighborhoods has never been higher, Stuart's book
helps us see where we've gone wrong, and what steps we could take
to begin to change the lives of our poorest citizens--and
ultimately our society itself--for the better.
