Readings in Cultural Diversity and Criminal Justice presents
students with a collection of scholarly, interdisciplinary articles
and invites them to critically examine the importance of cultural
diversity within the criminal justice system. The book is divided
into five parts. Part I consists of introductory articles that
discuss colorism, the origins of racism, and how the media
perpetuates racial stereotypes. In Part II, students read articles
devoted to theory that advance their understanding of the
intersections of diversity, racism, and crime. Part III focuses on
the areas of policing, prosecution, and punishment. Part IV
includes readings that address issues of cultural diversity within
corrections and correctional settings. The articles in the final
part speak to school discipline rates in the U.S., the dynamics of
racial anxiety and the advantages enjoyed by most whites, and the
avoidance of integration across the political spectrum. Throughout,
post-reading questions encourage reflection, discussion, and
further exploration of the material. Readings in Cultural Diversity
and Criminal Justice is an ideal supplementary text for courses in
criminology, criminal justice, and related disciplines.
