About this product
Product Information
Winner of a 2005 Gustavus Myers Outstanding Book Award (Honorable Mention Americans fear crime, are rattled by race and avoid honest discussions of both. Anxiety, denial, miscommunication, and ignorance abound. Imaginary connections between minorities and crime become real, self-fulfilling prophecies and authentic links to race, class, gender and crime go unexplored. Katheryn Russell-Brown, author of the highly acclaimed The Color of Crime , makes her way through this intellectual minefield, determined to shed light on the most persistent and perplexing domestic policy issues. The author tackles a range of race and crime issues. From outdated research methods that perpetuate stereotypes about African Americans, women, and crime to the over hyped discourse about gangsta rap and law breaking, Russell-Brown challenges the conventional wisdom of criminology. Underground Codes delves into understudied topics such as victimization rates for Native Americans--among the highest of any racial group--and how racial profiling affects the day-to-day lives of people of color. Innovative, well-researched and meticulously documented, Underground Codes makes a case for greater public involvement in the debate over law enforcement--and our own language--that must be heard if we are to begin to have a productive national conversation about crime and race.

Reviews
"This book should be taken as a challenge to do our jobs: to assess critically the 'many issues involving crime and race that are overlooked, misunderstood and falsely linked.' It succinctly and critically summarizes the extant literature that purports to shed light on the race/crime nexus."- Contemporary Sociology ,, "Katheryn Russell-Brown's newest work highlights the unique ways that race, culture, and criminal justice issues operate across communities of color and within them. Her study of these issues raises important questions and draws the critical distinctions between fact and fiction for our understanding and ultimate liberation." -Paula C. Johnson,Syracuse University College of Law, author of Inner Lives: Voices of African American Women in Prison, "InLaw on Display, authors,Neal Feigenson and Christina Spiesel offer us a unified and thoughtful way to parse digital images not just about the legal system, but about the manner in which we interpret it. . .Law on Displayis an important book that both the legal theorist and the practicing attorney should read." -Christine A.

It is essential reading alike for litigators and for everyone concerned with the legal fall-out of our culture's accelerating shift from verbal to multimedia communication and comprehension." - Anthony G. Amsterdam, New York University School of Law, "In Underground Codes, Katheryn Russell-Brown confirms her position as one of the nation's leading authorities on race and crime.
