Description
The high incarceration rate in the United States has significant implications for its society. Seventy percent of those imprisoned are people of colour, highlighting the need for an analysis of the policing and punishment systems. This collection of essays explores the biases in these systems, including racial profiling, sentencing disparities, and the exploitation of women in prison and police custody.
