  Summary

Comprehensive and balanced, THE COLOR OF JUSTICE is the definitive book on current research and theories of racial, ethnic, and gender discrimination within America's Criminal Justice system. The authors synthesize the best and the most recent research on patterns of criminal behavior and victimization, police practices, court processing and sentencing, the death penalty, and correctional programs, giving students the facts and theoretical foundation they need to make their own informed decisions about discrimination in the system. Uniquely unbiased, THE COLOR OF JUSTICE makes every effort to incorporate discussion of all major race groups found in the United States.

  • Extensive coverage of class and gender issues.
  • The authors have included exceptional learning tools to help students master the material: instructive figures and tables, chapter goals and conclusions, and informative boxed material and discussion questions.
  • Two comprehensive and up-to-date chapters discuss issues of discrimination within the court system.
  • An extensive Criminal Justice Video List. Qualified adopters can select from a variety of videos including exclusive CNN videos for Introduction to Criminal Justice, Criminology, and Juvenile Delinquency, an exclusive Introduction to Criminal Justice video from the Films for the Humanities, eight dynamic Court TV videos profiling some of the most famous and current cases in the judicial system, Art and Entertainment American Justice Series, ABC News, MPI home videos, Films for the Humanities, and the National Institute of Justice.
