Racialization, crime, and criminal justice in Canada  Cover Image Book Book

Racialization, crime, and criminal justice in Canada / Wendy Chan and Dorothy Chunn.

Chan, Wendy, 1966- (author.). Chunn, Dorothy E. (-author).

Summary:

Race still matters in Canada, and in the context of crime and criminal justice, it matters a lot. In this book, the authors focus on the ways in which racial minority groups are criminalized, as well as the ways in which the Canadian criminal justice system is racialized. Employing an intersectional analysis, Chan and Chunn explore how the connection between race and crime is further affected by class, gender, and other social relations.The text covers not only conventional topics such as policing, sentencing, and the media, but also neglected areas such as the criminalization of immigration, poverty, and mental illness.
