It draws heavily on the American black experience and will become the standard work on the subject." Michael Tonry, Law, University of Minnesota "This book is a must-read for criminologists and sociologists. Although the book is written for social scientists concerned with explaining crime, it is likely to be of interest to anyone striving to understand the high amount of crime that exists in many African American communities. I look forward to using it as one of the texts in the criminology course that I teach." Ronald Simons, Sociology, University of Georgia
