Multiculturalism, Crime, and Criminal Justice, Third Edition, provides an overview of the problems and promises of cultural diversity in society and within all facets of the criminal justice system. It focuses on how different marginalized groups--African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, women, the LGBTQ+ community, the elderly, and juveniles--are impacted by law enforcement, the courts, and correctional agencies, addressing the issues that each group faces. It also examines how multiculturalism affects those who work within the criminal justice system, including members of minority groups.

Reviews for Multiculturalism, Crime, and Criminal Justice
I looked for a book like this for a long time... The writing style is accessible to undergraduates and flows logically. I think the photos, figures, and graphs, add to overall readability and student interest. It is excellent material overall. -Timothy Elkin, Ferris State University This text is a comprehensive overview of the importance of multiculturalism when working in the criminal justice system. It supplies the historical relevance and sociological influence on criminal justice... It is the most thought out, comprehensive text I've seen on the topic of Multiculturalism and the Criminal Justice System. -Mathilda Spencer, California University of Pennsylvania
