| book description |

Cultural Diversity and the Administration of Justice: A Brief Reader explores the peculiar relationship between cultural diversity and the administration of criminal justice. The anthology examines the impact diverse cultural perspectives have on law enforcement, legal proceedings, corrections, and crime prevention. Topics discussed within the text include the vital issues of colorism, the disparities in media coverage of missing persons across racial lines, and the treatment of individuals within the criminal legal system. Furthermore, it investigates the notion of culturally diverse law enforcement and its influence on public perceptions and trust. The book is structured in three parts with each focusing on a different aspect of cultural diversity and its influence on justice administration. The first section delves into perceptions of race, identifying the nuances within racial stratification and how societal influences, like media, affect these views. The second segment examines how cultural diversity and systemic biases interplay within the criminal legal system's processing. The final part addresses diversity's role in the context of punishment and rehabilitation, spotlighting reforms in policing and the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence. Through its exploration of challenging topics, Cultural Diversity and the Administration of Justice aims to inspire meaningful discourse and reform, making it a timely addition to the academic discussion on justice in a culturally diverse society. It is ideal for courses related to cultural diversity in criminal justice, social work, sociology, and criminology.
