The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, and there is great racial inequality in the criminal justice system. Race and Policing in Modern America explores how the US criminal justice system perpetuates inequality, from the police’s origins as slave patrols to the school-to-prison pipeline. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
“This is a hot-button topic that inspires a lot of strong feelings, and this volume is admirable in its neutral tone, its adherence to facts, and its avoidance of bothsidesism.”—Booklist, starred review
