In The Perlis of Federalism, Lisa L. Miller speaks to three major social science disciplines-American politics, criminology, and sociology-on a topic of great import to all of them: interest group participation in the development of crime and justice policy across the local, state and national levels of government. Much of the existing research on race and crime focuses on the manipulation of crime by political elites or the racially biased nature of crimepolicy. In contrast, Miller's unique study zeroes in on the specific political and socio-legal institutions and actors that drive these developments and their relationship to the politics of race and poverty; in particular, the degree to which citizens at most risk of victimization-primarily racial minoritiesand the poor-play a role in the development of political responses to crime and violence. Ultimately, The Perils of Federalism challenges the conventional wisdom about the advantages of federalization and explains one of the key disadvantages that local communities face in trying to change policy.
