Relying on a multidisciplinary framework of inquiry and critical
perspective, this edited volume addresses the unique experiences of
Black males within various stages of contact in the criminal
justice system. It provides a comprehensive overview of the
administration of justice, mental and physical health issues faced
by Black males, and reintegration into society after system
involvement. Recent events-including but by no means limited to the
shootings of unarmed Black men by police in Ferguson, Missouri;
Baltimore; Minneapolis; and Chicago-have highlighted the
disproportionate likelihood of young Black males to encounter the
criminal justice system. Black Males and the Criminal Justice
System provides a theoretical and empirical review of the need for
an intersectional understanding of Black male experiences and
outcomes within the criminal justice system. The intersectional
approach, which posits that outcomes of societal experiences are
determined by the way the interconnected identities of individuals
are perceived and responded to by others, is key to recognizing the
various forms of oppression that Black males experience, and the
impact these experiences have on them and their families. This book
is intended for students and scholars in criminology, criminal
justice, sociology, race/ethnic studies, legal studies, psychology,
and African American Studies, and will serve as a reference for
researchers who wish to utilize a progressive theoretical approach
to study social control, policing, and the criminal justice system.
