Race, Crime, and Criminal Justice

This book offers a different and unique perspective of the disproportionate representation of Blacks in the criminal justice system as offenders and prison inmates. The approach is solution-oriented pragmatically, in that it puts the power to break the vicious cycle of Black disproportionate contact with the criminal justice system in the hands of Blacks. One of the most controversial topics on the subject of race, crime, and criminal justice is the disproportionate representation of Blacks in the criminal justice system as offenders and prison inmates. Rather than portraying Blacks as perpetual victims of racism in which societal institutions are solely responsible for reform, this book seeks to put the power of change in the hands of Blacks. It focuses on the preventative role that Blacks might play and considers solution-oriented ways to stop this vicious cycle.
