"This is a great tool that provides not only historical perspective
but also incorporates additional resources to help expand the
student's ability to understand an issue and implications stemming
from it." -Robbin Day Brooks,-Arizona State University Written by
two of the most prominent criminologists in the field, Race and
Crime, Fifth Edition takes an incisive look at the intersection of
race, ethnicity and the criminal justice system. Authors Shaun L.
Gabbidon and Helen Taylor Greene offer students a panoramic
perspective of race and crime by expertly balancing historical
context with modern data and research in thought-provoking
discussions of contemporary issues. Accessible and reader-friendly,
this comprehensive text illuminates the continued importance of
race and ethnicity in all aspects of the administration of justice.
New to the Fifth Edition: "Both Sides of the Debate" boxes
encourage student engagement and critical thinking as they explore
both sides of controversial issues, such as: school shootings; the
"Model Minority" label; affluenza; eliminating peremptory
challenges; President Trump's judicial appointments; the
underreporting of hate crimes; the increase of opioid use among
black Americans; and expanding the death penalty for opioid
dealers. Extensive updates around policing provides a foundational
understanding of important issues, such as: policing and the use of
force; the Black Lives Matter movement; the Blue Lives Matter
movement; the need for diversity in law enforcement; traffic stops;
and the connection between immigration and policing. Key court
rulings are included along with updated discussions of racial
disparities in plea bargains, backstrikes of potential jurors,
wrongful convictions, and intersectionality in death penalty
decisions. Important topics such as life after prison and the
impact of felony disenfranchisement on minorities help
contextualize the discussion of corrections. Updated data tables
such as crime and victimization trends, hate crime incidents, and
juvenile crime/victimization put the study of race and crime in
complete context. Discussions of the Trump Administration's
policies capture the current state of crime and justice policies in
the United States. Updated data tables such as crime and
victimization trends, hate crime incidents, and juvenile
crime/victimization put the study of race and crime in complete
context for students.
