Jeffrey Reiman is a prominent scholar in the field of criminology and social justice.
He is best known for his work on the American criminal justice system, particularly his critique of how it disproportionately affects the poor.
Reiman has authored several books on the subject, with "The Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Prison" being his most well-known work.
The book, which has gone through multiple editions since its initial publication, has become a staple in criminology and sociology courses.
Reiman's work often incorporates Marxist perspectives and challenges conventional notions of crime and punishment, focusing on systemic inequalities and the criminalization of poverty.
