| Zusammenfassung: | "Race and Crime examines how and why racialized mass incarceration emerged as a new racial management strategy in the United States and explores its impact on the institutions of criminal justice. Elizabeth Brown and George Barganier historicize the issues of race and crime in society by returning to the history of colonial conquest and the emergence of the idea of race. They show how this idea transitions and transforms throughout history and affects the creation of state power, the emergence of new state institutions, and geographies of racial segregation. Finally, they analyze how punishment, the death penalty, and everyday practices of surveillance practiced in and through the police and courts shape the geographical expression of injustice in the United States today."--Provided by publisher Race, crime, and justice: definitions and context -- Race, colonialism, and the emergence of racial democracy -- The history of racial science: social science and the birth of criminology -- Social problems and the U.S. racial state -- Housing inequality and the geography of residential racial segregation -- The problem of urban America: race and the emergence of mass incarceration -- Policing the city -- The colonial order of the court -- Imprisoning race: from slavery to the prison -- "Race to execution": lynching, mass incarceration, and the resurgence of the death penalty -- Conclusion: futures of race and crime? |
