Zusammenfassung: | From the Publisher: Across America today gated communities sprawl out from urban centers, employers enforce mandatory drug testing, and schools screen students with metal detectors. Social problems ranging from welfare dependency to educational inequality have been reconceptualized as crimes, with an attendant focus on assigning fault and imposing consequences. Even before the recent terrorist attacks, non-citizen residents had become subject to an increasingly harsh regime of detention and deportation, and prospective employees subjected to background checks. How and when did our everyday world become dominated by fear, every citizen treated as a potential criminal? In this startlingly original work, Jonathan Simon traces this pattern back to the collapse of the New Deal approach to governing during the 1960s when declining confidence in expert-guided government policies sent political leaders searching for new models of governance. The War on Crime offered a ready solution to their problem: politicians set agendas by drawing analogies to crime and redefined the ideal citizen as a crime victim, one whose vulnerabilities opened the door to overweening government intervention. By the 1980s, this transformation of the core powers of government had spilled over into the institutions that govern daily life. Soon our schools, our families, our workplaces, and our residential communities were being governed through crime. This powerful work concludes with a call for passive citizens to become engaged partners in the management of risk and the treatment of social ills. Only by coming together to produce security, can we free ourselves from a logic of domination by others, and from the fear that currently rules our everyday life. |

advance acclaim for Governing Through Crime
In Governing through Crime, Jonathan Simon powerfully and persuasively argues
that America s obsession with crime has touched, indeed distorted, the fundamental
building blocks of our democratic society. According to this sweeping analysis, our
conception of the centrality of crime in American life has redefined the powers of
government, the role of families and schools, and the place of the individual in soci¬
ety. This disturbing and provocative treatise should command the attention of schol¬
ars, opinion leaders, and policymakers who aspire to create a more tolerant and open
future for this country.
—JEREMY TRAVIS, President, John
Ja}-
College oi Criminal Justice
Distinguished legal scholar Jonathan Simon here challenges us to confront the con¬
sequences for liberal democracy of the move in the U.S. towards the exercise of ever
more executive authority
—
from the presidency and the institutions of state through
schools and families. Governing through Crime, argues Simon with unrelenting
cogency, is a response to risk and fear spun out of control, a response that erodes
social trust and, with it, the very scaffolding of a free society. An invaluable addition
to the literature in critical criminology, this is a volume that ought to be read by any¬
one who seeks to understand the present and future of governance in the USA
—
and
elsewhere.

Jonathan Simon has pioneered a new approach to the study of the politics of crime
control, and this book should confirm his place as one of the outstanding criminolo-
gists of his generation. Governing through Crime is a major contribution and deserves
to make an impact throughout the social and political sciences.

spelling | Simon, Jonathan 1959- Verfasser (DE-588)1027971555 aut Governing through crime how the war on crime transformed American democracy and created a culture of fear Jonathan Simon Oxford Oxford Univ. Press 2007 viii, 330 S. txt rdacontent n rdamedia nc rdacarrier Studies in crime and public policy From the Publisher: Across America today gated communities sprawl out from urban centers, employers enforce mandatory drug testing, and schools screen students with metal detectors. Social problems ranging from welfare dependency to educational inequality have been reconceptualized as crimes, with an attendant focus on assigning fault and imposing consequences. Even before the recent terrorist attacks, non-citizen residents had become subject to an increasingly harsh regime of detention and deportation, and prospective employees subjected to background checks. How and when did our everyday world become dominated by fear, every citizen treated as a potential criminal? In this startlingly original work, Jonathan Simon traces this pattern back to the collapse of the New Deal approach to governing during the 1960s when declining confidence in expert-guided government policies sent political leaders searching for new models of governance. The War on Crime offered a ready solution to their problem: politicians set agendas by drawing analogies to crime and redefined the ideal citizen as a crime victim, one whose vulnerabilities opened the door to overweening government intervention. By the 1980s, this transformation of the core powers of government had spilled over into the institutions that govern daily life. Soon our schools, our families, our workplaces, and our residential communities were being governed through crime. This powerful work concludes with a call for passive citizens to become engaged partners in the management of risk and the treatment of social ills. Only by coming together to produce security, can we free ourselves from a logic of domination by others, and from the fear that currently rules our everyday life.
