It argues that these disparities run throughout the legal system; they're present in policing, corrections, and sentencing. It discusses the relationship between the two kinds of justice - social justice and criminal justice and how to ensure fairness in state-imposed punishment. It theorises the extent to which criminal law must address considerations of social justice to ensure a fair system. It proposes a framework for analyzing disparities, provides an overview of contemporary research concerning them, and offers reform proposals for addressing them. Written in an accessible way, it introduces readers to philosophical theory and doctrines in constitutional law and thus it speaks to a wide audience concerned about racial and class disparities in the criminal justice system. It responds to a half-century's worth of public concern about the legitimacy of the state's exercise of its penal power while explaining the pertinence of social justice principles to the criminal justice system. William Heffernan is Professor of Criminal Justice at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, USA, where he has taught John Jay for more than 30 years. His work as an editor of Criminal Justice Ethics, a journal he co-founded 39 years ago, shaped his interdisciplinary interest in the topics covered in this book. He published Privacy and the American Constitution: New Rights through Interpretation of an Old Text (2016) with Palgrave Macmillan. . 606 $aCriminology 606 $aCritical criminology 606 $aLaw$xPhilosophy 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aCorrections 606 $aPunishment 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aCriminology Theory 606 $aCritical Criminology 606 $aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aPrison and Punishment 606 $aPolitical Theory 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aCritical criminology. 615 0$aLaw$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aCorrections. 615 0$aPunishment. 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 14$aCriminology Theory. 615 24$aCritical Criminology. 615 24$aTheories of Law, Philosophy of Law, Legal History. 615 24$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aPrison and Punishment. 615 24$aPolitical Theory. 676 $a364.089 700 $aHeffernan$b William C$0784696 701 $aZhang$b Shuhao$01780106 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910917790503321 996 $aSocial Justice$94303730 997 $aUNINA
