AB Part of a special issue on critical resistance to the prison-industrial complex. The writer discusses how crime functions as a social control in the U.S. He argues that the three main ways in which crime acts as a social regulation are that it creates confusion and fear, it consumes “bodies” and human energy that could be harassed by rebellion, and it forces oppressed and poor people into the arms of the state.
