Description: | Select Guide Rating This book offers an accessible and innovative approach for students studying ethnicity and crime, incorporating current empirical research and and drawing on a range of contemporary issues such as terrorism, immigration detention and youth gangs. The disproportionate criminalisation and incarceration of particular minority ethnic groups has long been observed, though much of the work in criminology has been dominated by a somewhat narrow debate. This debate has concerned itself with explaining this disproportionality in terms of structural inequalities and socio-economic disadvantage or discriminatory criminal justice processing. It will be of interest to students studying courses in ethnicity, crime and justice. |
