Abstract

ABSTRACT Characteristics of the current United States criminal justice system include mass incarceration at a rate higher than that of any other Western country, extraordinarily long sentences, rampant racial discrimination, and discrimination against all low-income persons. The impact of this system goes beyond devastation of those subject to supervision of the system to their families, communities, and society at large. This article analyzes the current criminal justice system relative to neoliberalism and ongoing reform efforts. The possible roles of radical social work in facilitating reforms and connecting criminal justice advocacy and issues to larger structural issues as well as direct practice strategies are explored.

摘要当前美国刑事司法系统的特点包括大规模监禁率高于任何其他西方国家，刑期超长，种族歧视猖獗，以及对所有低收入人群的歧视。这一制度的影响超出了受该制度监督的人对其家庭、社区和整个社会的破坏。本文分析了当前刑事司法系统相对于新自由主义和正在进行的改革努力。探讨了激进社会工作在促进改革、将刑事司法宣传和问题与更大的结构性问题以及直接实践战略联系起来方面可能发挥的作用。
