Enforcing Freedom
Drug Courts, Therapeutic Communities, and the Intimacies of the State
Kerwin Kaye
Kerwin Kaye offers an ethnographic account of drug courts and mandatory treatment centers as a system of coercion, demonstrating how the state uses notions of rehabilitation as a means of social regulation. Enforcing Freedom presents a critical perspective on the punitive side of criminal-justice reform and points toward alternative paths forward.
