"African American history has been scarred by violent and discriminatory law enforcement - from the mass executions of rebel slaves through to the present day in which more black citizens are incarcerated than ever before. This book provides an in-depth overview of crime, punishment, and justice in African American history. It presents cutting-edge scholarship on major issues of criminal justice history in the United States, and explores everyday African American experiences alongside famous trials and court decisions. It also highlights the ways in which resistance to oppressive policies, punishment, and vigilante justice has advanced the broader struggle for black freedom, and driven an ongoing process of criminal justice reforms."--Back Cover.
