Over the past 30 years federal and state policies have increasingly pursued a harsh, "tough on crime" position.

Thompson, Victor su: Criminal justice system Drug control African Americans Drug design Black men sug: subj: Criminal justice system Drug control African Americans Other Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities Drug design Black men ab: Over the past 30 years federal and state policies have increasingly pursued a harsh, "tough on crime" position. With the "war on drugs" and allied changes in sentencing practices and policing policies, the US has witnessed a sharp increase in the proportion of citizens incarcerated or under some form of supervision by the state.

To many analysts, the deepening racialization of the chances of criminal incarceration was at least a foreseeable, if not predictable and intended, consequence of these policy changes. The purpose of this essay, based on new focus group research and newly designed national sample survey data, is to assess the perceptions and consequences of these changes for African Americans' judgments about the legitimacy of the criminal justice system. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
