It is part of a long, bloody history of anti-Latina/o violence in the United States. Gringo Injustice brings this history to life, shedding critical light on the complex relationship between Latinas/os and the United States' legal and judicial system. Contributors with first-hand knowledge and experience, including former law enforcement officers, ex-gang members, attorneys, and community activists, share insider perspectives on the issues facing Latinas/os and initiate a critical dialogue on this neglected topic. Essays examine the unauthorized use of deadly force by police and patterned incidents of lynching, hate crimes, gang violence, and racial profiling. The book also highlights the hyper-criminalization of barrio youth and considers wide-ranging implications from the disproportionate imprisonment of Latinas/os. Gringo Injustice provides a comprehensive and powerful look into the Latina/o community's fraught history with law enforcement and the American judicial system. It is an essential reference for students and scholars interested in intersections between crime and communities of Color,and for use in Sociology, Latino Studies, Ethnic Studies, Chicano Studies, Criminology, and Criminal Justice. 606 $aDiscrimination in law enforcement$zUnited States 606 $aRacial profiling in law enforcement$zUnited States 606 $aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$2fast 615 0$aDiscrimination in law enforcement 615 0$aRacial profiling in law enforcement 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions. 676 $a363.2308900973 676 $a363.230896872073 700 $aMirande?$b Alfredo$0689675 801 0$bOCoLC-P 801 1$bOCoLC-P 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813078603321 996 $aGringo Injustice$94070605 997 $aUNINA
