Description: For sale, an extremely desirable double-signed 1st printing of Smart on Crime: A Career Prosecutor's Plan to Make Us Safer, inscribed on the title page by co-author Joan O'C. Hamilton and flat-signed on a bookplate by Vice-President Kamala Harris! Printed locally in San Francisco in 2009 before her rise to become Vice-President and even Senator, Smart on Crime is a relic of time and party past. Written only 5 years before the post-Ferguson, Black Lives Matter era during Harris' bid for California State Attorney General, Harris presents an outdated, unapologetically pro-law enforcement and painfully colorblind take on criminal justice, mentioning racial bias only twice in the entire publication. She encourages heavier police presence in schools and poor communities, argues that prostitution should remain illegal, and states that drug offender programs are "Law enforcement, not Social Work", positions all increasingly unpopular in today's Democratic party. Now as sitting VP, Harris is positioned to be the future head of the democratic party and an important leader in criminal justice reform! VF+ to Like New: very minor defects including some minor bumping to bottom board and a single faint spot on the head near the spine.Jacket Condition: VF+ to Like New: light shelf rubbing, now stored in an archival book cover (included) to keep it looking great!
