He went on more than 250 hours of ride-alongs with law enforcement officers to see crime from the front end. He sought to understand addiction, trauma, and why people commit unlawful acts, some hauntingly heinous, with results rippling far beyond the primary victims to families, friends, and communities. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In a forthright reckoning with his own fear, desire for protection, and lingering anxiety, Reese wrestles with what humankind is capable of and what mercy means in the work of moving forward. \u003ci\u003eComing to a Neighborhood near You\u003c\/i\u003e presents true accounts of mass incarceration and an interrogation of how to confront the human rights crisis in America's criminal justice system. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Reese\u003c\/b\u003e is an associate professor of English and director of the Great Plains Writers' Tour at Mount Marty University in Yankton, South Dakota.
