Race, Crime, and Justice in Canada: Issues and Strategies

Scot Wortley, Kanika Samuels-Wortley
Coming Soon

Race, Crime, and Justice in Canada: Issues and Strategies, draws on extensive research and analysis in examining questions and debates around racialization and crime in Canada.

This timely book addresses all aspects of the topic, giving careful consideration to historical and systemic factors, public perceptions of crime and the role of the media, statistical trends, and criminological and sociological theories. Concerns over racial bias in Canadian policing, courts, and corrections are presented alongside strategies for reducing and preventing the over-representation of Black, Indigenous, and other groups in criminal activity and in the justice system, while addressing persistent myths that have undermined progress towards justice.

Authors Scot Wortley and Kanika Samuels-Wortley have created an ideal resource for courses in criminology, sociology, or criminal justice programs, or for professional development and training of law enforcement professionals.
