A revelatory account of the misdemeanor machine that unjustly brands millions of Americans as criminals

Although it is nearly invisible to the public, criminal snitching has invaded the American legal system in risky and sometimes shocking ways. This book exposes the social destruction that snitching can cause in high-crime African American neighborhoods. It also uncovers the farreaching legal, political, and cultural significance of snitching.
