Kurzfassung:
"Race, Crime, and Policing in the Jim Crow South traces the growth of the police in the New South, the role of law enforcement in maintaining control over urban African-American populations, the ways black southerners responded to these developments, and most importantly, how African Americans manipulated the police into serving the interests of the black community. In so doing, it adds much to our understanding of race relations in the urban South during the Jim Crow era and contributes to current debates around the relationship between the police and minorities in the United States"--
