  Banished is an in-depth examination of new and largely-ignored policing tactics that enforce zones of exclusion in many American cities. Through an exploration of the case of Seattle, Banished charts the rise of these new mechanisms of urban social control that combine elements of civil and criminal law, and provides a thorough and critical assessment of their effectiveness.
