research question

I have written many versions this morning.

I am studying criminal anthropology in the United States because I want to find out how systems of professional/academic science helped to construct our contemporary system of criminal justice and punishment in order to help my reader understand that our contemporary system was built on assumptions around class, race, appearance, behavior and biological inferiority. What the fuck does that mean?

We live in a society that uses prisons and police to control our environment and what happens in it. Is it a process of consistent and repeated social agreement? Is our criminal justice system relevent to the way we want to run our social collective?

Kellor: Habitual criminals must be killed or incarcerated permanently.
Lombroso: Habitual criminals, born criminals, the insane and stupid must be killed or permanently institutionalized.
