The first civil right: how liberals built prison America

1. The first civil right : protection from lawless racial violence

2. Freedom from fear : white violence, black criminality, and the ideological fight for law-and-order

3. Policing the Great Society : modernizing law enforcement and rehabilitating criminal sentencing

4. The era of big punishment : mandatory minimums, community policing, and death penalty bidding wars

5. The last civil right : freedom from state-sanctioned racial violence.
