Publisher Synopsis
"Bailey and Green have produced a book that fills a gap in the continuing and often painful debate over race, crime, and justice in the US. In 14 chapters, supplemented with a unique and valuable bibliographical essay and a general bibliography, the authors take the reader through a historical, social, and legal landscape enmeshed in a race-crime-justice subtext.... [This is] all told with readable prose and scholarly precision. A valuable piece of work that is long overdue. All levels."-Choice Read more...
