Críticas:

"A pioneering and stimulating examination of a neglected aspect of southern history and a significant addition to the historiography of crime and punishment in America."--American Historical Review "A major study that quite clearly is better than anything yet written on the subject."--The Journal of American History "A distinguished contribution to the venerable debate over the relationship between southerners and the laws."--Reviews in American History "An excellent and valuable study."--The Journal of Southern History "This book offers a number of compelling and even original theories....It is also exceptionally well written."--Louisiana History "An elegantly designed study, original and persuasive."--Kirkus Reviews

Reseña del editor:

Exploring the major elements of southern crime and punishment at a time that saw the formation of the fundamental patterns of class and race, Ayers studies the inner workings of the police, prison, and judicial systems, and the nature of crime.
