A Theory of African American Offending: Race, Racism, and Crime

By James D. Unnever and Shaun L. Gabbidon

Book Overview

This book argues that a theory of crime specific to the African American experience is justified by qualitative and quantitative data, not just because of the disproportionately higher percentage of African Americans (in the U.S. population) who are offenders, but also because of the vastly higher percentage of Black Americans who are non-offenders.
