Book Manuscript
  • “Electing to Punish: Congress, Race, and the Rise of the American Criminal Justice State”

    • With the septupling of its prison population in the last third of the twentieth century, the United States incarcerates a greater proportion of its citizens than any nation in the world. My project explains why the U.S. Congress designed increasingly punitive crime policy from mid-century to present, despite the long tradition of crime control as the province of states and localities. I introduce an original theoretical framework of how crime policy develops in the race-laden electoral connection , in which crime problem framing and crime policy design are fundamentally structured by racial power arrangements. Based on detailed analysis of legislative histories, I identify the emergence of punitive bidding wars, illustrating that congressional crime policy develops as a punitive race-to-the-top rather than as a contested issue. Based on my original dataset of every federal mandatory minimum statute from 1790 to 2000, I also identify the emergence of a mandatory minimum electoral cycle, in which punitive legislation passes only in the weeks immediately preceding an election. Both punitive bidding wars and electoral cycles, I argue, are manifestations of how electoral incentives operate in the context of post-civil rights era racial politics.
