Reviews'Through wide-ranging scholarship and enviable imagination, Shaun Gabbidon does much to...illuminate key theoretical pathways for moving toward a systematic understanding of how race is implicated in criminal behavior. Rich in detail, broad in scope, and easily read, this volume should find a prominent place on every scholar's bookshelf and be assigned in courses as a companion to traditional criminological theory texts.' - Francis T. Cullen, University of Cincinnati, USA 'This book reveals criminology's quiet obsession with race and crime, illuminating how every theoretical perspective in the canon has grappled with the issue. Gabbidon masters the field to produce a text of impressive depth and breadth. It is inclusive yet focused, readable without being over-simplified and critical without being prescriptive. It is an essential resource for criminological theorists and students of racism, ethnicity, crime and justice.' - Ben Bowling, King's College, London, UK 'Questions about race and crime are among the most important topics in criminology today. This impressive book presents an extensive and thorough discussion of that subject. [It provides] an in-depth discussion and analysis [of] mainstream criminology theories focus[ing] on their application to and implications for the issues of race. [Using] a broad-ranging presentation of research on race and crime, both qualitative and quantitative, [the book] includes a considerable amount of material that is otherwise not very accessible...I strongly recommend this book.' - Thomas J.

SynopsisCriminological Perspectives on Race and Crime examines an array of perspectives that have been used to contextualize criminal behavior among racial/ethnic minorities. Beginning with an historical review of a single perspective, each chapter takes into account the historical development of that perspective and the way in which race/ethnicity is contextualized by that theory. Because of the international nature of the overrepresentation of racial/ethnic minorities and immigrants in justice systems around the globe, the book also reviews international research. Throughout the chapters, the author considers which perspectives have shown the most promise in contextualizing the overrepresentation of racial/ethnic minorities and immigrants in justice systems around the world., Criminological Perspectives on Race and Crimeexamines an array of perspectives that have been used to contextualize criminal behavior among racial/ethnic minorities.
