Getting Tough
In 1970s America, politicians began “getting tough” on drugs, crime, and welfare. These campaigns helped expand the nation's penal system, discredit welfare programs, and cast blame for the era's social upheaval on racialized deviants that the state was not accountable to serve or represent. This book sheds light on how this unprecedented growth of the penal system and the evisceration of the nation's welfare programs developed hand in hand. The …

Welfare Crises, Penal Solutions, and the Origins of the “Welfare Queen”
This article contributes to the scholarship on mass incarceration by highlighting the ways penal expansion intervened in the history of other state institutions. It argues that the increasing criminalization of welfare fraud was instrumental in undermining political support for key social welfare programs, particularly Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC). In the 1970s, lawmakers and welfare administrators enlisted law enforcement’s exp…
Guns and Butter
In 1970 a man wrote to California governor Ronald Reagan in support of disfranchising welfare recipients. “I believe this would be one of the most important pieces of legislation that could be enacted,” he explained. The writer asserted that people receiving state benefits forfeited their citizenship rights: “They are, in my opinion, no more than second rate citizens and because they continually draw welfare, I do not believe they should have the…
The Attila the Hun Law
In 1973, New York's Governor Nelson Rockefeller responded to panic about soaring heroin use by renouncing his aggressive treatment programs and enacting the most punitive drug policy in the United States. His "Rockefeller Drug Laws" mandated sentences up to life in prison for selling any narcotics. These punishments, comparable to the penalties for murder, served as models for subsequent "War on Drugs" policies enacted across the nation.This arti…
The Crime of Survival
"Welfare queens" and welfare fraud became national obsessions during the 1970s. This hysteria eroded public support for efforts to redress the racism and gender bias inherent in state programs and delegitimated the welfare state itself. This article chronicles the story of the first "welfare queen," Chicago's Linda Taylor, and the context surrounding Illinois legislators' efforts to crack down on welfare fraud. In an attempt to curb welfare costs…
