Civil Rights Enforcement: an Introduction to U.S. Civil Rights Investigation

By Lawren Folsom

This book provides an introductory overview of investigative, administrative, and judicial processes involved in the private enforcement of civil rights laws in the United States. Lectures further introduce participants to the network of nonprofit organizations, law firms, administrative agencies, federal agencies, and courts that work together to advance civil rights through enforcement. This book is designed to provide information to participants interested, personally or professionally, in the protection of their own and others' civil rights. Participants will develop civil rights resource guides unique to their jurisdictions: guides to local, state, and federal civil rights protections and enforcement mechanisms. The primary objective of this book is for participants to complete it with a basic but firm grasp of how civil rights enforcement works, coupled with the desire to become involved in local and nationwide civil rights enforcement efforts.

Civil rights professionals.

Attorneys with an interest in incorporating civil right enforcement into their business practices through self-monitoring and internal investigations.

Individuals and advocates.

Social workers, therapists, case workers, and anyone working with populations vulnerable to discrimination.
