I bought this book as recommended supplementary reading for a college level criminal justice course. The book is advertised as “Comprehensive and balanced” and “uniquely unbiased” on the back take in. I was hoping for a book that honestly and objectively open both sides of the debate regarding race and crime. I am not qualified to debate the accuracy of the data open, or to argue that the authors are incorrect in their charges of discrimination in the criminal justice system. But, the book adamantly asserts that discrimination is reliable for the disparity between races in the crime data and casually dismisses opposing opinion. The authors presentation is neither balanced or unbiased.

This book along with is Sense and Nonsense book was horrible. We used it for a Contemporary Issues in Criminal Justice class and none of the students or my teacher thought that either book was excellent. It was way too complex for people who just want the straight forwards facts. In looking back at the book, it would not be my recommendation to use it. The whole class suffered in the potential learning due to these books. I respect Professor Walker with his teaching and serving on boards throughout the nation, but sorry to say, I cannot agree with this and his additional book I used. I hope this review helps.

There is nothing casual about this book’s consideration of racial bias in the criminal justice system. The authors offer a very careful, balanced and thorough evaluation of racial bias in the various stages of the arrest, sentencing, incarceration, etc. based on a comprehensive consideration of the evidence from copious studies. What is so arresting about this study is that the authors are able to clarify this evidence in a very understandable way that should be accessible to the all-purpose public. They find that while some areas of the criminal justice system are racial discriminatory, others are not. An brilliant book!
