When those children are underrepresented minorities, the potential for disruption is even greater. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Legacy of Racism for Children: Psychology, Law, and Public Policy\u003c\/em\u003e examines issues that arise when minority children's lives are directly or indirectly influenced by law and public policy. Uniquely comprehensive in scope, this trailblazing volume offers cutting-edge chapters on the intersections of race\/ethnicity within the context of child maltreatment, child dependency court, custody and adoption, familial incarceration, school discipline and the \"school-to-prison pipeline,\" juvenile justice, police\/youth interactions, and jurors' perceptions of child and adolescent victims and defendants. The book also includes chapters focused on troubling situations that are less commonly researched, but growing in importance, including the role of race and racism in child sex trafficking and US immigration law and policy. Thus, individual chapters explore myriad ways in which law and policy shape the lives of marginalized children and adolescents - racial and ethnic minorities - who historically and presently are at heightened risk for experiencing disadvantageous consequences of law and policy. In so doing, \u003cem\u003eThe Legacy of Racism for Children\u003c\/em\u003e can help social scientists to understand and work to prevent the perpetuation of racial discrimination in American laws and public policies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Margaret C.
