A little more than a century ago, the famous social scientist
W.E.B. Dubois asserted that a true understanding of African
American offending must be grounded in the "real conditions" of
what it means to be black living in a racial stratified society.
Today and according to official statistics, African American men --
about 6 percent of the population of the United States -- account
for nearly 60 percent of the armed robbery arrests in the United
States. To the authors of this book, this and many other glaring
racial disparities in offending centered on African Americans is
clearly related to their unique history and to their past and
present racial subordination. Inexplicably, however, no
criminological theory exists that fully articulates the nuances of
the African American experience and how they relate to their
offending. In readable fashion for undergraduate students, the
general public, and criminologists alike, this book for the first
time presents the foundations for the development of an African
American theory of offending.
