"This book is about the convergence of trends in two American institutions - the economy and the criminal justice system. The American economy has radically transformed in the past half-century, led by advances in automation technology that have permanently altered labor market dynamics. Over the same period, the U.S. criminal justice system experienced an unprecedented expansion at great cost. hese costs include not only the $80 billion annually in direct expenditures on criminal justice, but also the devastating impacts experienced by justice-involved individuals, families, and communities. Recently, a widespread consensus has emerged that the era of "mass incarceration" is at an end, reflected in a declining prison population. Criminal justice reforms such as diversion and problem-solving courts, a renewed focus on reentry, and drug policy reform have as their goal keeping more individuals with justice system involvement out of prisons, in the community and subsequently in the labor force, which lacks the capacity to accommodate these additional would-be workers. This poses significant problems for criminal justice practice, which relies heavily on employment as a signal of offenders' intentions to live a law-abiding lifestyle. The diminished capacity of the economy to utilize the labor of all who have historically been expected to work presents significant challenges for American society. Work, in the American ethos is the marker of success, masculinity and how one "contributes to society." What are the consequences of ignoring these converging structural trends? This book examines these potential consequences, the meaning of work in American society, and suggests alternative redistributive and policy solutions to avert the collision course of these economic and criminal justice policy trends"--

"In early 2018, the text of an employment contract surfaced on Twitter. Munger Tolles & Olson, a prominent Los Angeles law firm, required its summer associates to sign a contract that contained a binding arbitration clause. In and of itself, this was not unusual; binding arbitration clauses are ubiquitous in today's employment contracts. They require employees to submit all employment related grievances to a private, binding system of arbitration and to forfeit their access to the legal system. But this contract was unusually explicit in spelling out the true enormity of what it required new associates to give up. In addition to explaining that, by agreeing to arbitrate, "you are giving up your right to a jury trial," it specified that employment-related claims would include, "without limitation," all "federal, state and local statutory, constitutional, and contractual and/or common law claims." The contract went on to highlight a few examples, such as all claims arising under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act, the Equal Pay Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, and the Americans with Disabilities Act, as well as a variety of similar state laws. Combined with a non-disclosure requirement, the clause all but ensured that any arbitration proceedings would be kept private, no matter how grave the injury or how unsatisfactory the dispute resolution process"--

This volume of essays is concerned with the discrimination against older people that results from a failure to recognise their diversity. By considering the unique combinations of discrimination that arise from the interrelationship of age and gender, pensions, ethnicity, sexual orientation, socio-economic class and disability, the contributors demonstrate that the discrimination suffered is multiple in nature. It is the combination of these characteristics that leads to the need for more complex ways of tackling age discrimination.
