Praise for Not a Crime to Be Poor: Named one of the "10 books to read after you've read Evicted " by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal "[ Not A Crime To Be Poor is] a powerful investigation into the ways the United States has addressed poverty. . . . Lucid and troubling." --Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted, in The Chronicle of Higher Education "A hard-hitting argument for reform. . . . An impassioned call for an 'overarching movement' for justice." -- Kirkus Reviews "This compelling, insightful examination of how we demonize the poor and sustain poverty through our misguided policies is essential reading for anyone trying to understand the demands of social justice in America. Sharp, critical analysis of an issue too frequently ignored." --Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy "An extraordinary expos of the criminalization of poverty, a vivid explanation of its many guises, and an inspiring call and guide to reform. Over the past half century no one has been more committed to struggles against impoverishment and its cruel consequences than Peter Edelman. Not a Crime to Be Poor is another chapter in his admirable career." --Randall Kennedy, professor, Harvard Law School "A comprehensive, readable, and shocking examination of the criminalization of poverty, and punishments that consist of fines and fees the poor cannot afford and conditions they cannot meet." --Stephen Bright, president of the Southern Center for Human Rights "A chilling expos of how America's courts, once bastions of justice, now routinely degrade themselves, and the nation, by ruthlessly extracting resources from our nation's most vulnerable citizens, rendering it a crime to be too poor to pay. It also names names--both the names of the villains who chose to exploit the poor and the heroes who fight back. Please read this book." --Kathryn Edin, co-author of $2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America "The intersection of race, poverty and the criminal justice system is compellingly examined in Peter Edelman's new book, Not a Crime to Be Poor. It should be required reading for all those who seek equal justice in our nation." --Judge Jonathan Lippman, former fhief judge of the New York Court of Appeals Praise for Peter Edelman's So Rich, So Poor: "Peter Edelman brings blinding lucidity to a subject usually mired in prejudice and false preconceptions." --Barbara Ehrenreich "If there is one essential book on the great tragedy of poverty and inequality in America, this is it. Peter Edelman is masterful on the issue. With a real-world grasp of politics and the economy, Edelman makes a brilliantly compelling case for what can and must be done." --Bob Herbert "A competent, thorough assessment from a veteran expert in the field." -- Kirkus Reviews, Praise for Not a Crime to Be Poor: Finalist for the American Bar Association's 2018 Silver Gavel Book Award Named one of the "10 books to read after you've read Evicted " by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Named one of the "Top 50 hardcover nonfiction titles for 2017" by the Boswell and Books "[ Not A Crime To Be Poor is] a powerful investigation into the ways the United States has addressed poverty. . . .

Synopsis
A expert on poverty shows how not having money has been criminalised and shines a light on lawyers, activists, and policy makers working for a more humane approach, Awarded "Special Recognition" by the 2018 Robert F. Kennedy Book & Journalism Awards Finalist for the American Bar Association's 2018 Silver Gavel Book Award Named one of the "10 books to read after you've read Evicted " by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Essential reading for anyone trying to understand the demands of social justice in America."--Bryan Stevenson, author of Just Mercy Winner of a special Robert F. Kennedy Book Award, the book that Evicted author Matthew Desmond calls "a powerful investigation into the ways the United States has addressed poverty . . . lucid and troubling" In one of the richest countries on Earth it has effectively become a crime to be poor. For example, in Ferguson, Missouri, the U.S. Department of Justice didn't just expose racially biased policing; it also exposed exorbitant fines and fees for minor crimes that mainly hit the city's poor, African American population, resulting in jail by the thousands. As Peter Edelman explains in Not a Crime to Be Poor , in fact Ferguson is everywhere: the debtors' prisons of the twenty-first century. The anti-tax revolution that began with the Reagan era led state and local governments, starved for revenues, to squeeze ordinary people, collect fines and fees to the tune of 10 million people who now owe $50 billion. Nor is the criminalization of poverty confined to money. Schoolchildren are sent to court for playground skirmishes that previously sent them to the principal's office. Women are evicted from their homes for calling the police too often to ask for protection from domestic violence. The homeless are arrested for sleeping in the park or urinating in public. A former aide to Robert F. Kennedy and senior official in the Clinton administration, Peter Edelman has devoted his life to understanding the causes of poverty. As Harvard Law professor Randall Kennedy has said, "No one has been more committed to struggles against impoverishment and its cruel consequences than Peter Edelman." And former New York Times columnist Bob Herbert writes, "If there is one essential book on the great tragedy of poverty and inequality in America, this is it.", Awarded "Special Recognition" by the 2018 Robert F.

A former aide to Robert F. Kennedy and senior official in the Clinton administration, Peter Edelman has devoted his life to understanding the causes of poverty. As Harvard Law professor Randall Kennedy has said, "No one has been more committed to struggles against impoverishment and its cruel consequences than Peter Edelman." And former New York Times columnist Bob Herbert writes, "If there is one essential book on the great tragedy of poverty and inequality in America, this is it.", In addition to exposing racially biased policing, the Justice Department's Ferguson Report exposed to the world a system of fines and fees levied for minor crimes in Ferguson, Missouri, that, when they proved too expensive for Ferguson's largely poor, African American population, resulted in jail sentences for thousands of people. As former staffer to Robert F. Kennedy and current Georgetown law professor Peter Edelman explains in Not a Crime to Be Poor, Ferguson is everywhere in America today. Through money bail systems, fees and fines, strictly enforced laws and regulations against behavior including trespassing and public urination that largely affect the homeless, and the substitution of prisons and jails for the mental hospitals that have traditionally served the impoverished, in one of the richest countries on Earth we have effectively made it a crime to be poor. Edelman, who famously resigned from the administration of Bill Clinton over welfare "reform," connects the dots between these policies and others including school discipline in poor communities, child support policies affecting the poor, public housing ordinances, addiction treatment, and the specter of public benefits fraud to paint a picture of a mean-spirited, retributive system that seals whole communities into inescapable cycles of poverty., A nationally known expert on poverty shows how not having money has been criminalized and shines a light on lawyers, activists, and policy makers working for a more humane approach
