a result of mass criminalization

This is a Blackboard discussion Assignment not a paper- Please just answer these question. I am from Bronx, New York We have been discussing in class how mass incarceration in America is, at least in part, a result of mass criminalization, and how mass criminalization is, at least in part, a result of mass surveillance. What would the sociology of deviance, and labeling theory in particular, have to say about mass surveillance, criminalization and incarceration? How have you observed any or all of this in your own life, either directly or indirectly? What aspects of criminalization in particular, referenced and discussed in the readings, were new to you and what are you thoughts on the criminalization of those populations, acts, etc.? Please listen to this short podcast on a book called “Insane: American’s Criminal Treatment of Mental Illness” (on the criminalization of mental illness) by Alisa Roth, and share your thoughts: https://www.wnyc.org/story/criminalizing-mental-illness/ Lastly, we will soon be discussing how mass criminalization is an infringement upon the rights (constitutional, human, etc.) of so many Americans. Which of these mass rights violations do you think poses the greatest threat to our society and why? How do you think you can help other Americans understand and appreciate the rights of persons harmed by crime, accused of criminal changes and punished for criminal convictions? Meaning what arguments would you make? (Note: It’s okay to include this in a subsequent post rather than the initial one if you haven’t gotten to this set of readings yet).
