Taken from criminological, anthropological, and sociological perspectives, this text addresses a broader range
of special populations in the criminal justice system. Chapters are devoted to Asian Americans, gays and lesbians,
Latinos, Middle-Easterners, Native Americans, and the elderly in addition to the traditional minority groups. Historical
development, societal issues, crime and punishment, discrimination, employment, and other serious problems are
considered throughout. Using anecdotal discussions, readers look at special populations in various roles throughout
the criminal justice system and get a more balanced view of the myriad of issues relating to the concept of marginalized
groups.
