Relying on experts in criminology and sociology, Appearance Bias
and Crime describes the role of bias against citizens based on
their physical appearance. From the point of suspicion to the
decisions to arrest, convict, sentence, and apply the death
penalty, crime control agents are influenced by the appearance of
offenders; moreover, victims of crime are held blameworthy
depending on their physical appearance. The editor and contributing
authors discuss timely topics such as Black Lives Matter,
terrorism, LGBTQ appearance, human trafficking, Indigenous
appearance, the disabled, and the attractive versus unattractive
among us. Demographic traits such as race, gender, age, and social
class influence physical appearance and, thus, judgments about
criminal involvement and victimization. This volume describes the
social movements relevant to appearance bias, recommends
legislative and policy changes, offers practical advice to social
control agencies on how to reduce appearance bias, and proposes a
new sub-discipline of appearance criminology.
