"No Equal Justice" is the seminal work on race- and class-based
double standards in criminal justice. Hailed as a "shocking and
necessary book" by "The Economist," it has become the standard
reference point for anyone trying to understand the fundamental
inequalities in the American legal system. The book, written by
constitutional law scholar and civil liberties advocate David Cole,
was named the best nonfiction book of 1999 by the "Boston Book
Review" and the best book on an issue of national policy by the
American Political Science Association.
"No Equal Justice" examines subjects ranging from police
behavior and jury selection to sentencing, and argues that our
system does not merely fail to live up to the promise of equality,
but actively requires double standards to operate. Such
disparities, Cole argues, allow the privileged to enjoy
constitutional protections from police power without paying the
costs associated with extending those protections across the board
to minorities and the poor.
