UNDUE PROCESS Michael E. Norris
© 2016
REQUEST a Review Copy
This book book analyzes how the vast expansion of private security has undermined the constitutional rights to due process and equal protection. Most analyses of the expansion of private security have focused on the way this type of security encroaches on the right to privacy. This book moves beyond this question to examine the way in which privatized law enforcement has begun to erode America’s historic commitment to equality under the law.
