Description

Explore a deep analysis of American crime patterns in Losing Legitimacy by Gary LaFree. This book examines how street crime rates in America increased eightfold over the last fifty years. The text investigates why these increases were often rapid and why they had a disproportionate impact on African Americans. Rather than relying on common explanations like biological impulses or psychological drives, this work looks at the speed and timing of these societal changes. Using unique data that spans half a century, the research offers a different perspective on the crime explosion that occurred during the early 1960s. This book is a significant resource for those studying the decline of social institutions and the complex history of crime and society in the United States.
