Race, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Violent Crime The Realities and the Myths

Race, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Violent Crime: The Realities and the Myths provides social workers and probation personnel with an overview of how the issue of race relates to criminal behavior. This unique book includes an analysis of data on the annual incidence of aggressive crime, such as homicide, sexual assault, and aggravated assault in relation to race so you can see the contrasting proportional distribution of blacks and whites among victims and offenders as well as their representation in the general U.S. population. You will also examine data on race in relation to the imposition and execution of the death penalty in the United States over the last quarter century so that you will clearly see that Black people are not over-represented among offenders on whom capitol punishment has been imposed or carried out.Pallone, Nathaniel J. is the author of 'Race, Ethnicity, Sexual Orientation, Violent Crime The Realities and the Myths' with ISBN 9780789009685 and ISBN 0789009684.
