Multiculturalism, Social Justice, and the Community: Contemporary
Readings provides students with an introduction to the flawed
nature of definitions of race and ethnicity, and how these
definitions contribute to disparate treatment, especially in the
criminal justice system. The anthology examines majority group
discrimination and bias and their impact on minority groups. It
also provides policy recommendations designed to improve
police-minority relationships. Unit I introduces the concept of
multiculturalism and features articles that explore why minority
groups are disproportionately overrepresented in the justice system
and why it's imperative for criminological theories to not only
examine the social status of justice-involved minorities but also
the ways in which they are targeted and treated by mainstream
society. In Unit II, the readings examine social justice issues
through the intersectional lenses of class, race, gender identity,
and sexual orientation. In Unit III, students explore how
communities have shifted, changed, and, in some cases, reinforced
segregation because of income and class status. Each unit features
an engaging introduction, summary, and student study questions.
Designed to address timely topics within our global society,
Multiculturalism, Social Justice, and the Community is an excellent
resource for courses and programs in social and criminal justice.
Immigration, Crime, and the Administration of Justice: Contemporary
Readings provides students with a concise, scholarly overview of
contemporary immigration issues related to policy, policing, and
corrections. The carefully selected readings in this volume provide
students with insight into the lived experiences of immigrants in
America. The anthology is divided into three distinct units that
address issues surrounding how immigration is viewed through the
lens of criminal justice statistics, policy, and crime. Unit 1
consists of three empirical studies that explore the perceptions
and realities of the relationship between crime and immigration. In
Unit 2, readings outline both macro- and micro-level immigration
policies and how they intersect with criminal justice. The final
section addresses the future of immigration and crime, including
readings that explore immigration and civil rights, the politics of
belonging, and the future of U.S. immigration policy. Introductions
and post-reading questions encourage critical thought and greater
engagement with the material. Immigration, Crime, and the
Administration of Justice is an ideal supplementary resource for
undergraduate and graduate-level courses in criminal justice and
administration of justice with focus on immigration.
A Critical Analysis of Race, Policy, and Policing provides students
with a variety of readings that examine the complex and often
tumultuous relationship between law enforcement and people and
communities of color. The selections within this anthology offer
research pertaining to racial profiling, punitive justice policies,
and the use of excessive force by police. The anthology is divided
into two distinct parts. Part I, titled Policing Blacks, includes
readings that address racial profiling of blacks by U.S. law
enforcement in Nebraska from 2002 to 2007, the taut relationship
between police and black males, racial profiling in airports, and
the connection between youth of color and the carceral state. In
Part II, titled Policing Latinos, students read selections that
examine policing of Latino communities in south Los Angeles, racial
profiling of Latinos, and issues of immigration and "illegality."
Through contemporary research and carefully selected readings, A
Critical Analysis of Race, Policy, and Policing exposes students to
modern justice issues by focusing on the lived experiences of
communities most impacted by flawed criminal justice policies. It
is an ideal supplementary textbook for courses in criminal justice,
ethnic studies, and policing.
