This new volume of Sociology of Crime, Law and Deviance addresses
issues of race and ethnicity within the law and law-related
phenomena. Even in today's so-called multicultural, post-racial
world racial and ethnic concerns prevail in many aspects of modern
law. Contributors to this volume examine racial and ethnic
disparities in sentencing and punishment; the continued problematic
nature of the African American experience within the US system; 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
researchers in law, socio-legal studies, criminology, criminal
justice, sociology and public policy.
