"In this book, Jerry Miller documents the intellectual genesis of minority incarceration corruption and describes the profound changes needed to rescue the country from the descent into brutality."-John McKnight, Northwestern University

"Jerry Miller's Search and Destroy is an exploration into the criminal justice system in America today and its impact on young African American males."-Marian Wright Edelman, President, The Children's Defense Fund, and author of the Measure of Our Successes: A Letter to My Children and Yours.

"Jerry Miller has spent a lifetime understanding our criminal justice system. He has worked to make it more progressive and more just. He has watched as it turned into a system of segregation and control for many Americans of color."-Bill Kovach, Nieman Foundation, Harvard University.

"In this book, Miller concludes that society is using the criminal justice system as a means to control the underclass, and he voices concern for the future if this trend continues."-Booklist

Industry Reviews
