Sommario/riassunto

'Race, Crime and Resistance' offers a thought-provoking account of the problematic construction of crimes as racialised. Critical, empirically grounded and theoretically informed, it unpicks the persistence of concepts of race and ethnicity in perceptions and representations of crime.
