Race, Ethnicity, Crime, and Justice: An International Dilemma,
Second Edition, takes a unique comparative approach to the
exploration of race- and ethnicity-related justice issues in five
countries around the world. Using the colonial model as a
theoretical lens, Owusu-Bempah and Gabbidon analyse data from Great
Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, and South Africa.
These international case studies help students contextualize race
and justice issues within and across nations. Concise historical
framing illuminates today's racial dynamics in these diverse
justice systems, and accessible theory grounds the comparison of
crime and justice data from the early 21st century with current
statistics. A new concluding chapter revisits the question of where
these nations fit in the global context of state and non-state
actors and of ethnic and racial justice issues. This new edition is
suitable for use as a core or supplemental text for advanced
undergraduates and early graduate courses on race and crime,
minorities and criminal justice, diversity in criminal justice, and
comparative justice systems. It is also appropriate for use in
sociology and ethnic studies courses that focus on race and crime.

A comprehensive collection of the essential writings on race and
crime, this important Reader spans more than a century and clearly
demonstrates the long-standing difficulties minorities have faced
with the justice system. The editors skillfully draw on the classic
work of such thinkers as W.E.B. DuBois and Gunnar Myrdal as well as
the contemporary work of scholars such as Angela Davis, Joan
Petersilia, John Hagen and Robert Sampson. This anthology also
covers all of the major topics and issues from policing, courts,
drugs and urban violence to inequality, racial profiling and
capital punishment. This is required reading for courses in
criminology and criminal justice, legal studies, sociology, social
work and race.
