Now, in its third edition, Katheryn Russell-Brown's book is more relevant than ever, as police killings of unarmed Black civilians--such as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Daniel Prude--continue to make headlines around the world. She continues to ask, why do Black and white Americans perceive police actions so differently? Is white fear of Black crime justified? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith three new chapters, over forty new racial hoax cases, and other timely updates, this edition offers an even more expansive view of crime and punishment in the twenty-first century. Russell-Brown gives us much-needed insight into some of the most recent racial hoaxes, such as the one perpetrated by Amy Cooper. Should perpetrators of racial hoaxes be charged with a felony? Further, Russell-Brown makes a compelling case for race and crime literacy and the need to address and name White crime. Russell-Brown powerfully concludes the book with a parable that invites readers to imagine what would happen if Blacks decided to abandon the United States. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRussell-Brown explores the tacit and subtle ways that crime is systematically linked to people of color. \u003ci\u003eThe Color of Crime\u003c\/i\u003e is a lucid and forceful volume that calls for continued vigilance on the part of scholars, policymakers, journalists, and others in the age of Black Lives Matter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katheryn Russell-Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479843156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479843152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New York University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/23\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Katheryn Russell-Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43987706609919,"sku":"9781479843152","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db1704d5-2ea4-4b0d-80ec-a2d8e644d242.jpg?v=1683290528","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-color-of-crime-third-katheryn-russell-brown-9781479843152","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
