The disproportionate criminalisation and incarceration of
particular minority ethnic groups has long been observed, though
much of the work in criminology has been dominated by a somewhat
narrow debate. This debate has concerned itself with explaining
this disproportionality in terms of structural inequalities and
socio-economic disadvantage or discriminatory criminal justice
processing. This book offers an accessible and innovative approach,
including chapters on anti-Semitism, social cohesion in London,
Bradford and Glasgow, as well as an exploration of policing
Traveller communities. Incorporating current empirical research and
new departures in methodology and theory, this book also draws on a
range of contemporary issues such as policing terrorism,
immigration detention and youth gangs. In offering minority
perspectives on race, crime and justice and white inmate
perspectives from the multicultural prison, the book emphasises
contrasting and distinctive influences on constructing ethnic
identities. It will be of interest to students studying courses in
ethnicity, crime and justice.

Serious research into the problematic and contested relationship
between notions of race and crime continues to blossom. Indeed, the
work of scholars in this cross-disciplinary field supports numerous
international journals, regional organizations, and global
conferences. Now, to make some sense of the wide range of
approaches, theories, and concepts that have informed thinking in
this area, Routledge announces a new title in its acclaimed
Critical Concepts in Criminology series. Edited by a leading
scholar with an international reputation, Race and Crime is a
definitive, four-volume collection of cutting-edge and foundational
research. With a full index, together with a comprehensive
introduction, newly written by the editor, which places the
collected material in its historical and intellectual context, Race
and Crime is an essential work of reference. The collection will be
particularly useful as a database allowing scattered and often
fugitive material to be easily located. It will also be welcomed as
a crucial tool permitting rapid access to less familiar-and
sometimes overlooked-texts. For scholars, students, and
policy-makers, it is an essential one-stop research and pedagogic
resource.
