Comprehensive and balanced, this book presents up-to-date research and theories of racial, ethnic and gender discrimination within America's criminal justice system. The authors synthesize research on patterns of criminal behaviour and victimization, police practices, court processing and sentencing, the death penalty, and correctional programmes giving students the facts and theoretical foundation they need to make their own informed decisions about discrimination in the system. The text makes every effort to incorporate discussion of all major race groups found in the United States.
