Racial Divide: Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Criminal Justice System Michael J Lynch

Examines how the racial divide in US society is reflected in the criminal justice system. It focuses on policing, the adult and juvenile court systems, prisons, the application of the death penalty, the science of forensics, and the incidence of environmental crimes to demonstrate a persistent pattern of institutionalized racial and ethnic discrimination at every stage of the system.
