{"product_id":"9798216063032","title":"Color behind Bars: Racism in the U.S. Prison System [2 volumes]","description":"\u003cb\u003eA diverse, critical analysis of racial and ethnic disparities within the American criminal justice system that encourages critical thinking by providing various sides to the issues.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLow-income African Americans, Latin Americans, and American Indians bear the statistical brunt of policing, death penalty verdicts, and sentencing disparities in the United States. Why does this long-standing inequity exist in a country where schoolchildren are taught to expect \"justice for all\"? The original essays in this two-volume set not only examine the deep-rooted issues and lay out theories as to why racism remains a problem in our prison system, but they also provide potential solutions to the problem. The work gives a broad, multicultural overview of the history of overrepresentation of ethnic minorities in our prison system, examining white\/black disparities as well as racism and issues of ethnic-based discrimination concerning other ethnic minorities. This up-to-date resource is ideally suited for undergraduate students who are enrolled in criminal justice or racial\/ethnic studies classes and general readers interested in the U.S. criminal justice system.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46608983261425,"sku":"9798216063032","price":123.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5433\/7265\/files\/9798216063032_p0.jpg?v=1765900891","url":"https:\/\/shop.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9798216063032","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
