* ein Vorwort von Thomas Mathiesen ("Can we stem the tide"), in dem er eine Reihe von soziologisch informierten Vorschlägen macht, "to lower or at least significantly slow down the increase in numbers of prisoners per capita in a society" (XX). Ein vergleichweise bescheidenes Ziel. Umso interessanter seine Vorschläge: "foster confidence in others", "the police should be largely unarmed...police officers should be visible and polite rather thabn driving around in closed cars", "there are aspects of togetherness that should be forstered", "This involves a limitation on controlled city life, and an expansion od a social city life" (XXI). | * ein Vorwort von Thomas Mathiesen ("Can we stem the tide"), in dem er eine Reihe von soziologisch informierten Vorschlägen macht, "to lower or at least significantly slow down the increase in numbers of prisoners per capita in a society" (XX).

* Erica Meiners, Professor of education and gender and women's studies at Northeastern Illinois University, writes about "SSchooling the carceral state: challenging the school-to-prison-pipeline". She believes that "it is not enough to take down prisons" (277). She advocates "building other sustainable frameworks for public safety and engaging the question of why prisons have been naturalized as responses to harm in our communities" (276). Prisons "cannot be eliminated unless new institutions and resources are made available to those communities that provide, in large part, the human beings that make up the prison population" (277). | * Erica Meiners, Professor of education and gender and women's studies at Northeastern Illinois University, writes about "SSchooling the carceral state: challenging the school-to-prison-pipeline".

Oparah]] is professor and chair of Ethnic Studies at Mills College. She is maybe better known as Julia Sudbury (with a number of abolitionist publiations, in Social Justice and elsewhare). Here she deals with the Topic "Why no prisons?". She reports about the new Abolitionist movement in the USA (Critical Resistance), which holds annual metings since 1998. CR's analysis of the political economy of prisons was shaped by Linda Evans and Angela Y. Davis. "One of the most effective strategies used by Critical Resistance to win Support for the Abolition rather than reform of prisons is to Point to a continuity between slavery and contemporary incarceration" (283). But aren't there some people who really need to be locked up? CR's answers and strategies are to be found in "The Abolitionist Toolkit"(2012) [http://criticalresistance.org/resources/the-abolitionist-toolkit/]). Oparah (298) shares the activists' belief in a three step strategy of prison abolition: STOP (moratorium), SHRINK (decarceration), BUILD (alternative way to built security and address harm). | ||
