"More Than Race: Minority Issues in Criminal Justice" provides a unique opportunity for dialogue on the nature and extent of diversity in a 21st-century criminal justice reality. With inclusions from a diverse collection of practically relevant scholars, this reader examines issues of diversity relative to human rights, race, class, gender, sexual-orientation, age, religion, and social control, as situated within the contemporary criminal justice system.
