To this date, efforts to document the scholarly contributions of
exclusively African American criminologists are nonexistent. This
is a reference work which offers contemporary Afrocentric
perspective on critical issues of crime and justice by focusing on
the contributions of African American criminologists whose
interests and responses to crime arguably differ from those of
mainstream white criminologists. This reference will be of interest
to undergraduate and graduate students and faculty in criminal
justice and practitioners in policy making.
Most of the abstracts can be cross-referenced to publications
within mainstream criminal justice journals. In addition, selected
books, manuscripts, and an array of state and government documents
are included and provide rare Afrocentric perspectives on issues of
crime and justice. In the process, it credits many Caucasians and
ethnic minorities as important contributors to a given publication.
This reference book consists of five chapters: (1) an introductory
article on issues that define (and confront) African American
criminologists, (2) an alphabetical listing of published abstracts
for each contributing author, (3) selected references to each
publication, (4) an appendix containing titles to doctoral
dissertations for all contributing African American scholars, and
(5) an author and subject index.
