Stylishly written yet accessible, Race & Crime will prove invigorating, vital reading for students in criminology, sociology, race and ethnic studies, and cultural studies.
This excellent, timely and invaluable text book will be recommended to students on various modules at Level 4. It provides an in-depth analysis of the subject and will develop an appreciation from the student once read. It is a book to pick up and read instead of one which can make this subject unreadable. thank you.
Still considering other titles for challenging module but this will be a key addition
A long over due text that offers an original exploration of the main issues and concerns relating to the race, crime and justice debate.
A refreshing, detailed, critical, thought-proviking and accessible approach
