| Abstract
|
:
|
Much of the existing research on race and crime focuses on the manipulation of crime by political elites or the racially biased nature of crime policy. However, Miller's study zeroes in on the political and socio-legal institutions and actors that drive these developments and their relationship to the politics of race and poverty.
