Good book.
Four Stars
Received as advertised.
Four Stars
I used this to study criminology in a university class.
Good, but dull
Informative, but it has almost nothing but statistics, so it makes it a very dull read.
Weak and Politically Biased
It's all Republicans and white people's fault.
Racism and our Legal System
Punishment and Inequality is the culmination of an eight-year project by author Bruce Western, a sociology professor at Harvard, who sought to examine how America's penal system has become a major player in determining the life course of many young black and brown Americans today.

Interesting analysis
Bought for a public policy class.
A critically important book
This books documents the stratification of American society; with irrefutable documentation it proves that India is far from being the only country with a caste system.
Bruce Western
