Book Description
Race, Crime and Justice brings together influential British and American articles on the involvement of minority ethnic groups with crime and criminal justice. After reviewing empirical and theoretical issues, the volume presents key facts about racial imbalances in prison populations, and addresses the question of whether these are the result of discrimination by the criminal justice systems of the United Kingdom and the United States, or whether they can be explained by higher crime rates among certain racial groups.Articles included cover possible discrimination by the police and the courts and the effects of particular criminal justice strategies are addressed.Recent research on race, biological characteristics and criminality is summarised and challenged, as is 'underclass' theory, which has had significant impact on thinking about crime and criminal justice in the 1990s.A final section deals with the criminal justice treatment of black women and looks towards a more gendered understanding of the effect of race on crime and justice.
