Kadifa Williams provides a timely study for understanding ?«race?» and crime in England and Wales. The author examines issues of ?«race?» and racism in relation to black people and criminal justice. This is especially pertinent in light of the concern of the disproportionate rate of adverse contacts between black people and the police and the over-representation of black people in the prison population. This innovative interpretation of the controversial relationship will be of interest to academics and post graduate students in criminology, sociology, race and ethnicity and socio-legal studies.
