ReviewsThe depth and breadth of coverage is great. I particularly like the subtopics considered in many of the chapters., This is the most thorough book that I have found thus far in regard to Race and Crime. Additionally, I believe that it provides students with an excellent opportunity to learn and understand the subject matter., "I will be adopting this text for my course. I will also recommend this text for the Multicultural Issues in Criminal Justice course offered in my department. This text is very comprehensive and does a superb job at covering the various topics related to race and crime in America." , I really like this book. The book is well written, is written in a clear and concise way, and covers material that is not covered in other books. I also like the boxes and tables., There are not many criminal justice texts specifically designed to address issues of race and crime for an upper level undergraduate course. Therefore, this text covers a wealth of information in a very clear, concise, and easily accessible manner. It deconstructs complex issues and presents them in a manner for students to easily grasp and comprehend. The text does an excellent job of balancing historical and contemporary issues of race and crime. It also does a great job of covering several aspects of the criminal justice system., "This text seems to have more extensive coverage on specific items such as theory, victimization and policing. Unique strengths of this book: it (1) commences with an overview of race and crime; (2) provides valid and critical information in chapter 2 in order for the audience to critically understand the theoretical perspective described in the book; (4) presents the rest of the chapters in chronologically and progressively organized in terms of "criminal justice"; and (5) provides a study site for both the students and the instructor."
