Their provocative work, drawing insights from criminology, criminal justice, anthropology, and sociology, is a seminal step in efforts to understand the intersection of race and violence.Crime and raceUnited StatesCrimeSociological aspectsAfrican American criminalsAfrican AmericansCrimes againstAfrican AmericansViolence againstViolenceUnited StatesUnited StatesRace relationsCrime and raceCrimeSociological aspects.African American criminals.African AmericansCrimes against.African AmericansViolence against.Violence303.6089/96073Hawkins Darnell F., authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1507209Hawkins Darnell F.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814282803321Roots of African American violence4080907UNINA
