Search and Destroy, 2nd Edition

By Jerome G. Miller

Book Overview

This tightly argued and methodologically sound volume addresses widespread social assumptions associating crime and African American men. An exploration into the criminal justice system in America today and its impact on young African American males, this book challenges the linking of crime and race and the conservative anti-welfare, hard-on-crime agenda. Jerry Miller has spent a lifetime studying and challenging our criminal justice system. He has worked to make it more progressive and more just. He has watched as it turned into a system of segregation and control for many Americans of color. That is the story told here in devastating detail.
