African-American Classics in Criminology and Criminal Justice - Paperback - 2001

From W.E.B. Dubois through Lee Brown, this anthology provides a collection of the key articles in criminology and criminal justice written by black scholars. Available in a single volume for the first time, the articles collected in this book reflect the voices of AfricanAmerican scholars and display the diversity of perspectives sought after in todays academic community. Crime in the AfricanAmerican community is examined from social, economic and political perspectives, and the historical context of each article is provided by the editors. Spanning the 20th century, these works present a historical chronology of AfricanAmerican views on crime and its control with theoretical perspectives that have often been tangential to mainstream scholarship.
