{"product_id":"crime-and-inequality-walid-chahal-9781773630441","title":"Crime and Inequality","description":"This book is intended to provide critical readings for criminology courses. The authors all see crime as both a social and a political process. That is, what comes to be defined as criminal, how society responds to crime and why individuals become entangled in the criminal justice system are often the result of individual and systemic social inequalities. That is crime and the CJS both produce and reproduce class, race and gender inequalities in society.\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters in this book take up a number of empirical, theoretical and substantive issues in criminology and mostly focus on Canada. These include wrongful convictions (which are most likely to ensnare people who are on the margin of society), how the police and other representatives of the CJS operate within an institutional and cultural context that, by and large, sees racialized Canadians as most likely to be criminal, that youth crime is really a criminalization of young people who are poor and Indigenous, as well as connecting terrorism to the dynamics of neoliberal capitalism, among others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walid Chahal\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 177363044X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773630441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.70h x 5.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Walid Chahal","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447975883007,"sku":"9781773630441","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1d89c60-e472-49d9-afb9-c1ceef38c9a9.jpg?v=1777236073","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crime-and-inequality-walid-chahal-9781773630441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
