No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the Amerian Criminal Justice System.
Race and Class the the Amerian Criminal Justice System, Revised Edition
by David Cole
(0 reviews)
David Cole\'s No Equal Justice has already become the seminal work on race and class based double standards in criminal justice. Hailed as a \"shocking, and necessary book\" by the Economist, the work treats topics including police behavior, jury selection, and sentencing, showing how our system depends on these double standards to operate: such disparities allow the privileged to enjoy constitutional protections from police power without paying the costs associated with extending those protections across the board to minorities and the poor.
