African American Males in the Criminal Justice System. Kappan Special Report.
Miller, Jerome G.
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n10 pK1-K12 Jun 1997
Amidst two decades of social neglect, America's white majority has "gifted" inner cities with a new, improved, racially biased criminal justice system. Given the racial patterns firmly fixed in American criminal justice policy and practice, the majority feels justified in undoing welfare and institutionalizing a substantial percentage of black males. Educators must become aware of these "unwritten" social policies. (37 references) (MLH)
