About the book
In this groundbreaking expose essential for understanding rising authoritarianism, award-winning civil rights lawyer Alec Karakatsanis introduces the concept of "Copaganda." Copaganda is a special kind of propaganda employed by police, prosecutors, and news media to stoke fear of police-recorded crime and distort society's response to it. What readers will discover: - How mass media manipulates our perception of what keeps us safe. - Why fear of poor people, strangers, immigrants, unhoused people, and people of color is deliberately cultivated. - The ways this fear leads to authoritarian repression, inequality, and massive profits for the punishment bureaucracy
