Abstract:
Race, crime, and justice in American society -- Race and public opinion about crime and justice -- Race and criminal behavior -- Race and criminal victimization -- Race and policing -- Race, prosecution, and punishment -- Epilogue: where do we go from here? : the future of race, crime, and justice in the United States.
Abstract:
Brief, timely, and accessible, Race, Crime, and Justice: The Continuing American Dilemma examines many critical issues including why, over the past few decades, African Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans were swept into jails and prisons at rates far beyond their share of the national population. Steven E. Barkan explores racial/ethnic disparities in criminal justice involvement; discrimination in policing, prosecution, and sentencing; the rise and collateral consequences of mass incarceration; racial bias in news media coverage of crime; racial/ethnic differences in rates of criminal behavior and victimization; and social and criminal justice policies that, if successfully implemented, would help correct many of the injustices in the criminal justice system. -- ‡c From publisher's description
