Black Males and the Criminal Justice System

Recent events¿including but by no means limited to the shootings of unarmed Black men by police in Ferguson, Missouri; Baltimore; Minneapolis; and Chicago¿have highlighted the disproportionate likelihood of young Black males to encounter the criminal justice system. Black Males and the Criminal Justice System provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical review of the need for an intersectional understanding of Black male experiences and outcomes within the criminal justice system. The book is intended for students, scholars, and researchers in criminology, criminal justice, sociology, race/ethnic studies, legal studies, psychology, and African American Studies.
