Synopsis
- Why are some ethnic minorities associated with higher levels of offending?
- How can racist violence be explained?
- Are the police and criminal justice system racist?
- Are the reasons for offending and victimization among ethnic minorities different from those among ethnic majorities?
The book provides a conceptual framework in which racism, race and crime might be better understood. It traces the historical origins of how thinking about crime came to be associated with racism and how fears and anxieties about race and crime become rooted in places destabilized by rapid social change. The book questions whether race and ethnicity alone are significant enough factors to explain differing offending and victimization patterns between ethnic groups.
Issues examined include:
- Contact/conflict with the police
- Public disorder
- Involvement with the criminal justice system
