Race and Ethnicity in the Juvenile and Criminal Justice Systems

Over the last few decades, the racial and ethnic composition of the United States has changed dramatically. This vast transformation has important implications for theory, research, policy, and public opinion perhaps most crucially around the topic of race/ethnicity and our justice systems. Recent national events from Ferguson, to intense public debate about racism, to media depictions of police violence have reawakened the controversial question of race relations in the 21st century. This edited collection of research aims to highlight contemporary issues surrounding the overrepresentation of racial and ethnic minorities throughout both the juvenile and adult criminal justice systems. Our contributors cover both formal sources of social control (e.g. police, courts, corrections) and perceptions and public opinions of the relationship between race/ethnicity and offending behaviors. As the United States engages in fresh debate, old questions redefined and new ones asked, this publication provides innovative insight into how race and ethnicity interconnect with all aspects of criminology and criminal justice. Furthermore this edited collection helps encourage directions for future research, practice, and public policy.

This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Crime and Justice.

Jennifer H. Peck is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Criminal Justice at the University of Central Florida, USA. Her research interests include racial/ethnic disparities in juvenile court processing and the treatment of disadvantaged groups in the juvenile justice system.
