Godsil -- $g About the contributors. 520 $a "Racial bias in the U.S. criminal justice system is much debated and discussed, but few resources cover the full expanse of the issue. In Bias in the Law, sixteen outstanding experts address the impact of racial bias in the full roster of criminal justice actors. They examine the role of legislators crafting criminal justice legislation, community enforcers, and police, as well as prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, judges, and jurors. Understanding when and why bias arises, as well as how it impacts defendants, requires a clear understanding how each of these actors operate. Contributions touch on other crucial topics--racialized drug stigma, legal technology, and interventions--that are vital for understanding how the United States has reached this moment of stark racial disparity in incarceration. The result is an important entry into understanding the pervasiveness of racial bias, how such bias impacts legal outcomes, and why such impact matters. This is an issue that is as relevant today as it was fifty--or even one hundred fifty--years ago, and collection editors Joseph Avery and Joel Cooper provide a glimpse at how to proceed" -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Bias (Law) $z United States. 650 0 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration $z United States. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $z United States. 650 7 $a Bias (Law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00831195 650 7 $a Criminal justice, Administration of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883246 650 7 $a Discrimination in criminal justice administration. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00895034 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Avery, Joseph J., $e editor. 700 1 $a Cooper, Joel, $e editor. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781793601049 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015434.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E7490C1CB05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
