What role does race play in the justice system? In THE COLOR OF
JUSTICE: RACE, ETHNICITY, AND CRIME IN AMERICA, Sixth Edition,
you'll read a data-driven and balanced account of criminal behavior
patterns, victimization, immigration and crime, drug use, police
practices, court processing and sentencing, executions under the
death penalty, and the prison system. You'll examine all the
angles, from gender to economic status to race and age as you
uncover the truth about the criminal justice system. Get informed
on this important issue with this enlightening text.
Samuel Walker's SENSE AND NONSENSE ABOUT CRIME, DRUGS, AND
COMMUNITIES was one of the first books to challenge common
misconceptions about crime, and the new Eighth Edition remains
uniquely effective at doing so. Described as a "masterful critique"
of American policies on everything from crime control, to guns, to
drugs, this incisive book cuts through popular myths and political
rhetoric while emphasizing current research and proven practice.
The result is a lucid, research-based work that clearly reveals
what does not work in crime policy while identifying shared
characteristics of successful approaches, including carefully
defined, narrowly focused, problem-oriented programs in policing
and prosecution. This engaging text captures the full complexity of
the administration of justice while providing readers with a clear
sense of its key principles and general patterns.
