Author Description

The Disproportionate Criminalisation And Incarceration Of Particular Minority Ethnic Groups Has Long Been Observed, Though Much Of The Work In Criminology Has Been Dominated By A Somewhat Narrow Debate. This Debate Has Concerned Itself With Explaining This Disproportionality In Terms Of Structural Inequalities And Socio-economic Disadvantage Or Discriminatory Criminal Justice Processing. This Book Offers An Accessible And Innovative Approach, Including Chapters On Anti-semitism, Social Cohesion In London, Bradford And Glasgow, As Well As An Exploration Of Policing Traveller Communities. Incorporating Current Empirical Research And New Departures In Methodology And Theory, This Book Also Draws On A Range Of Contemporary Issues Such As Policing Terrorism, Immigration Detention And Youth Gangs. In Offering Minority Perspectives On Race, Crime And Justice And White Inmate Perspectives From The Multicultural Prison, The Book Emphasises Contrasting And Distinctive Influences On Constructing Ethnic Identities.--pub.
