Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America — When protection becomes punishment
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: James Forman Jr.
This episode explores Locking Up Our Own: Crime and Punishment in Black America by James Forman Jr. as a systems-level analysis of how a fragmented criminal justice structure influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
