'œCarol E. Jenson's book deals with an important subject. The focus of the study is the treatment (and the abuse) of First Amendment freedom-of-expression guarantees by state legislatures and courts, and the federal judiciary, particularly the U.S. Supreme Court. ... Tracing the legislative and judicial record of these [security] statutes, Jenson sets out a stimulating thesis. She argues that the laws and their construction by courts, taken together, represent a 'network of control' that has been (and may be again) 'tightened' to choke off a wide range of politically sensitive forms of speech and action. ... This is the first study of the interaction between federal and state jurisdictions that is book length.'' American Historical ReviewCarol E Jenson is the author of 'The Network of Control: State Supreme Courts and State Security Statutes, 1920-1970 (Contributions in Legal Studies)', published 1982 under ISBN 9780313224928 and ISBN 0313224927.
