Book Reviews of The Color of Justice: Race, Ethnicity, and Crime in America
Book Review: Not Recommended
Summary: 1 Stars
This book along with is Sense and Nonsense book was horrible. We used it for a Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice class and none of the students or my teacher thought that either book was good. It was way too complex for people who just want the straight forward facts. In looking back at the book, it would not be my recommendation to use it. The whole class suffered in the potential learning due to these books. I respect Professor Walker with his teaching and serving on boards throughout the nation, but unfortunately, I cannot agree with this and his other book I used. I hope this review helps.
Summary of The Color of Justice: Race, Ethnicity, and Crime in America
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.Criminal Procedure Books
