E. B. Du Bois and crime provides an original and innovative window into this little known area of Du Bois’s research and thought. Though a few other social scientists have briefly explored Du Bois’s criminological work, this is the first major overview book...Gabbidon provides much evidence, drawing on original sources, to back up his contention that Du Bois did important research on and theorizing about U.S. crime, especially as it affected Black Americans. He shows how in many ways Du Bois anticipated later theories of crime in Western criminology.' Criminal Law & Social Change
