Book Synopsis Perpetual Suspects by : Lisa J. Long

Download or read book Perpetual Suspects written by Lisa J. Long and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grounded in Critical Race Theory (CRT), this book examines black and mixed-race men and women’s experiences of policing in the UK. Through an intersectional analysis of race, class and gender it analyses the construction of the suspect, illuminating the ways in which race and racism(s) shape police contact. This counter-story to the dominant narrative challenges the erasure of race through the contemporary ‘diversity’ agenda. Overall, this book proposes that making racism visible can disrupt power structures and make change possible. It makes a timely contribution to this significantly under-researched area and will be of interest to students, educators and scholars of Criminology, Social Sciences, Law and Humanities. It will also be of interest to criminal justice practitioners, communities and activists.
