The relationship between crime and the economy has received too
little attention from researchers. This volume remedies that
deficit, resurrecting several classic writings on this elusive
topic by and about blacks, and presenting new contributions by
researchers at the frontier of work on the subject.Among the
landmark articles included are W.E.B. Dubois' famous examination of
crime in Philadelphia, an analysis of black criminal behavior by
Walter Willcox, who was chief statistician of the Census Bureau at
the time he wrote this essay, and excerpts from the ninth Atlanta
Conference on Negro Crime. The frontier articles use quality
microdata to understand particular aspects of criminal justice
processes. They address the relationship between employment and
criminal behavior, tradeoffs among education, employment, and
crime, and the link between overall economic conditions and rates
of incarceration. Among the authors represented in the landmark
research articles are Harold Votey and Llad Phillips, Richard
Freeman, David Good and Maureen Pirog-Good, Dario Melossi, and
Samuel Meyers and William Sabol. Richard MaGahey concludes the
volume with comments on the current status of research in the
field.This volume captures the emerging tension within scholarship
on race and crime, and provides both a reflective vision of work in
this area as well as state-of-the-art research by leading scholars.
