Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jeffrey Reiman is the author of The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison, in which he argues that the criminal justice system is stacked against the poor. Reiman suggests that wealth inequality leads to unequal treatment in the criminal justice system, with the rich being able to afford better legal representation and avoid harsher penalties, while the poor are more likely to be convicted and sentenced to longer prison terms. This is known as the "class bias" argument.
