In Hard bragains, social psychologist Mona Lynch investigates the increased power of these prosecutors in our age of mass incarceration. Lynch documents how prosecutors use punitive federal drug laws to coerce guilty pleas and obtain long prison sentences for defendants, particularly those who are African American, and exposes deep injustices in the federal courts. Hard bargains proposes a broad overhaul of the federal criminal justice system to restore the balance of power and retreat from the punitive indulgences of the war on drugs"-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Drugs of abuse $x Criminal provisions. $z United States $x Criminal provisions. 650 0 $a Drug traffic $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States 650 0 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $z United States. 650 0 $a Plea bargaining $z United States. 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x Criminology. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW $x Sentencing. $x Sentencing. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Drug traffic $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898722 650 7 $a Drugs of abuse $x Criminal provisions. $x Criminal provisions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00898986 650 7 $a Plea bargaining. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01067062 650 7 $a Sentences (Criminal procedure) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01112638 651 7 $a United States $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 653 $a Federal courts 776 08 $i Online version: $a Lynch, Mona Pauline. $t Hard bargains. $d New York : Russell Sage Foundation, 2016 $z 9781610448611 $w (DLC) 2016041734 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217015336.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20170701010110.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8EDCD00A5E2211E78DAED5EDDAD10320 994 $a Z0 $b HL6Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
