Read the Introduction.
"With a distinguished cast of scholars, this book makes a major
contribution to the field in its framing of a very complex social
problem."
--Simon I. Singer, author of "Recriminalizing Delinquency: Violent
Juvenile Crime and Juvenile Justice Reform"
"The most comprehensive treatment to date of the relationship
between race, ethnicity, and crime. This collection will be
valuable to practitioners and criminological theorists alike
because it contains vast amounts of data on the topic, then orders
and interprets these data with a strong socio-historical lens,
enhanced by a comparative perspective."
--Troy Duster, author of Backdoor to Eugenics
"Shines a new, critical light on race, ethnicity, crime and
justice. The text pushes us to consider how these terms are
defined, what's missing from our conventional analyses and
ultimately why and how race matters in discussions of
justice."
--Katheryn Russell-Brown, author of "The Color of Crime: Racial
Hoaxes, White Fear, Black Protectionism, Police Harassment, and
Other Macroaggressions"
"The editors have assembled a stellar group of scholars and
researchers and what one discovers in these chapters is innovative
conceptualization, and creative research using mixed methods. The
problem of race/ethnicity, crime, and justice looms large in
America and this collection is a must read for those seeking a
better understanding of the latest research in this critical area
of inquiry and the many unanswered questions that future research
must address."
--John H. Laub, co-author of "Shared Beginnings, Divergent Lives:
Delinquent Boys to Age 70"
In this authoritative volume, race and ethnicity are themselves
considered as central organizing principles in why, how, where and
by whom crimes are committed and enforced. The contributors argue
that dimensions of race and ethnicity condition the very laws that
make certain behaviors criminal, the perception of crime and those
who are criminalized, the determination of who becomes a victim of
crime under which circumstances, the responses to laws and crime
that make some more likely to be defined as criminal, and the ways
that individuals and communities are positioned and empowered to
respond to crime.
