SYNOPSIS
The chapters in this volume in the series Sociology of Crime, Deviance and Law address a variety of important matters of law and law-related phenomena in connection with social and cultural issues of race and ethnicity. The background to this volume is the changing yet enduring relevance of racial and ethnic concerns in many dimensions of modern law, even in today’s so-called multi-cultural and/or post-racial context. Among the pressing issues the authors in this book examine are: racial and ethnic disparities in sentencing and punishment; the continued problematic nature of the African American experience in the system of U.S. law; the criminalization of immigrants; racial inequities in the administration of drug laws; and the racial disparities that affect juvenile justice. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars in law and socio-legal studies, criminology and criminal justice, sociology, African-American studies, and public policy.
This volume is published in the series, Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance.
