Omschrijving
This new volume of Sociology of Crime, Deviance and Law addresses issues of race and ethnicity within the law and law-related phenomena.
Offering a broad and diverse overview and discussion of a variety of issues of race and ethnicity in multiple areas of law, sociologists cover law and black lives, disparities in sentencing and punishment, and systems and mechanisms of inequality. Among their topics are apartheid justice: gang injunctions and the new black codes, 40 acres and a lawsuit: legal claims for reparations, hooked on punishment: symbolic violence and the drug war inside US prisons, Latinos and the crimmigration system, and drugs and racial constructions.
Mathieu Deflem is Professor of Sociology at University of South Carolina, USA.
