Abstract
A society that regularly and systematically dehumanizes citizens of color will continue to wield the most punitive aspects of its criminal system against those citizens, so long as they are legally available. The racial discrimination that pervades the American criminal system drives its punitiveness and fosters excessive punishments that increase harm and criminal wrongdoing.
