{"product_id":"race-and-crime-9780520967403","title":"Race and Crime","description":"Criminal justice practices such as policing and imprisonment are integral to the creation of racialized experiences in U.S. society. Race as an important category of difference, however, did not arise here with the criminal justice system but rather with the advent of European colonial conquest and the birth of the U.S. racial state. \u003ci\u003eRace and Crime \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how race became a defining feature of the system and why mass incarceration emerged as a new racial management strategy. This book reviews the history of race and criminology and explores the impact of racist colonial legacies on the organization of criminal justice institutions. Using a macrostructural perspective, students will learn to contextualize issues of race, crime, and criminal justice.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Topics include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow “coloniality” explains the practices that reproduce racial hierarchies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe birth of social science and social programs from the legacies of racial science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe defining role of geography and geographical conquest in the continuation of mass incarceration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe emergence of the logics of crime control, the War on Drugs, the redefinition of federal law enforcement, and the reallocation of state resources toward prison building, policing, and incarceration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow policing, courts, and punishment perpetuate the colonial order through their institutional structures and policies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRace and Crime \u003c\/i\u003ewill help students understand how everyday practices of punishment and surveillance are employed in and through the police, courts, and community to create and shape the geographies of injustice in the United States today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Elizabeth Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48199602962683,"sku":"9780520967403","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/CoreSourceHub_4ea82e2d-7c4c-4bc4-b021-40cd0b3b8e5a.jpg?v=1770686209","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/race-and-crime-9780520967403","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
