Read Description

This book shows that race crimes, like other forms of criminal behavior, have always existed in the United States and other countries. America's greatest racial problem was handed down from the institution of slavery during a terrible period in our nation's history. Race and Crime clearly explains the notion of race, the types of crime that result from racial prejudice, and the methods use to fight and eliminate this serious worldwide problem.
