Biography
Coretta Phillips is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Colin Webster is Reader in Criminology at Leeds Metropolitan University and Visiting Research Fellow at Teesside University.
‘This book offers an interesting methodological and theoretical exploration of contemporary issues relating to race, crime and justice. It is a must for students and anyone else keen to expand their knowledge and critical awareness of the subject area.’
Dr Tina G. Patel, Lecturer in Criminology, University of Salford, UK
‘Corretta Phillips and Colin Webster have put together a critically important collection of articles devoted to traditionally neglected areas of race, ethnicity and crime. The diverse set of contributors provide unique and thoughtful insights into timely topics including: hate crimes; increasing diversity in Scotland; the plight of gypsies; ethnicity and counterterrorism strategies; the experience of women in an immigration detention center; and black perspectives on crime and justice. Collectively, the volume unmistakably expands the conversation on race and crime.
I anticipate that in the future scholars will refer to this volume as being an essential one in the lineage of race and crime scholarship.’
Shaun L. Gabbidon, Ph.D., Distinguished Professor of Criminal Justice, Penn State Harrisburg, USA
