Rather than focus exclusively on one or two specific minority groups, the authors strive to discuss a wide variety of racial minorities -- Hispanics, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Arab Americans, and others -- to give students a more complete perspective.
"In the Courts" boxes in most chapters provide an in-depth examination of a recent court case.
In addition to thorough coverage of racial issues in the courts and law enforcement, the text also includes a thorough discussion of community-based and institutional corrections.
Valuable learning tools to help students master the material include instructive figures and tables, chapter goals and conclusions, and informative boxed material.
