  • Summary Of On The Run By Alice Goffman

    Yet, three concrete examples of the fugitive behavior can be unearthed. First, Goffman begins the first chapter of the book explaining how one teen she got to know, Chuck, would teach his younger brother, Tim, how to run from the police during the afternoon (2015:9). This observation Goffman made is quite telling of the environment Chuck, Tim and other 6th Street boys lived in. While most American youth would be doing their homework or playing with other kids, Chuck and Tim used this time to learn how to run from the police before they even committed any crimes or legal offenses and while they were still innocents. Second, Goffman notes that police would often visit hospitals and check the names of patients or visitors for anyone that had warrants for their arrest.
