This book provides an empirical study of media and law enforcement bias in reporting and investigating homicides of African American women compared with their white counterparts. The author discusses the symbiotic relationship between media coverage and the response from law enforcement to victims of color, particularly when these victims are reported missing and presumed to be in danger by their loved ones. Just as the media are effective in helping to increase police response, law enforcement officials reach out to news outlets to solicit help from the public in locating a missing person or solving a murder. However, a deeply troubling disparity in reporting the disappearance and homicides of female victims reflects racial inequality and institutionalized racism in the social structure that need to be addressed. It is this disparity this important study seeks to solve. 606 $aMurder victims 606 $aCrime and race 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aMurder victims. 615 0$aCrime and race. 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against. 676 $a363.47 700 $aNeely$b Cheryl L.$01371837 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910734340603321 996 $aYou're dead - so what$93401492 997 $aUNINA
