Race, Ethnicity, Crime, and Justice: An International Dilemma by Shaun L. Gabbidon

Additionally, it can also be used in sociology and ethnic studies courses that focus on race and crime.

Race, Ethnicity, Crime, and Justice Reviews

"Gabbidon's book provides a sobering account of racism, inequality and injustice, framed by processes of colonialisation, the effects of which are still widely felt in many postcolonial contexts. It will greatly assist teachers and students interested in comparative research and analysis in this area."
-- Dr. Coretta Phillips
"The author does a great job at identifying the nature and scope of the race/crime relationship. The race relations analysis within the selected countries provides a great historical context; particularly for students who are unfamiliar with the role of race and ethnicity in criminal justice processing." -- Dr. Patricia Warren
