Paperback. NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A renowned journalist and legal commentator exposes the unchecked power of the prosecutor as a driving force in Americas mass incarceration crisisand charts a way out.An important, thoughtful, and thorough examination of criminal justice in America that speaks directly to how we reduce mass incarceration.Bryan Stevenson, author of Just MercyThis harrowing, often enraging book is a hopeful one, as well, profiling innovative new approaches and the frontline advocates who champion them.Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted FINALIST FOR THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE SHORTLISTED FOR THE J. ANTHONY LUKAS BOOK PRIZE NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR The New York Public Library Library Journal Publishers Weekly Kirkus ReviewsThe American criminal justice system is supposed to be a contest between two equal adversaries, the prosecution and the defense, with judges ensuring a fair fight. That image of the law does not match the reality in the courtroom, however. Much of the time, it is prosecutors more than judges who control the outcome of a case, from choosing the charge to setting bail to determining the plea bargain. They often decide who goes free and who goes to prison, even who lives and who dies. In Charged, Emily Bazelon reveals how this kind of unchecked power is the underreported cause of enormous injusticeand the missing piece in the mass incarceration puzzle.Charged follows the story of two young people caught up in the criminal justice system: Kevin, a twenty-year-old in Brooklyn who picked up his friends gun as the cops burst in and was charged with a serious violent felony, and Noura, a teenage girl in Memphis indicted for the murder of her mother. Bazelon tracks both casesfrom arrest and charging to trial and sentencingand, with her trademark blend of deeply reported narrative, legal analysis, and investigative journalism, illustrates just how criminal prosecutions can go wrong and, more important, why they dont have to.Bazelon also details the second chances they prosecutors can extend, if they choose, to Kevin and Noura and so many others. She follows a wave of reform-minded D.A.s who have been elected in some of our biggest cities, as well as in rural areas in every region of the country, put in office to do nothing less than reinvent how their job is done. If they succeed, they can point the country toward a different and profoundly better future. This item is printed on demand.
