RT Book T1 Unpacking race in the American jury system: cases, readings, and perspectives A1 Lawson Mack, Raneta 1963- LA English PP Durham, North Carolina PB Carolina Academic Press YR 2023 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/1848027915 AB "This casebook explores how the idealistic notion of a 'jury of one's peers' in the American criminal justice system was historically subverted to promote the ends of racism and oppression, a pattern and practice that continues in modern times. Beginning with the history of the jury trial process and continuing through the development of race-based exclusionary practices, such as carefully crafted jury lists and peremptory challenges, the book unpacks and critically examines how and why these racially biased processes became entrenched in the criminal justice system."--Publisher description CN KF9680 SN 9781531024062 K1 Jury : United States K1 Discrimination in criminal justice administration : United States K1 Casebooks (Law) K1 USA : Rassismus : Geschworenengericht : Strafjustiz
