Black Women's Experiences of Criminal Justice Bewertungen

'This book was core text when a student some 20 years ago. As a new lecturer I wanted to see if it was as relevant now as then. Although dated it is a book that should be on the reading lists of all criminology and sociology courses': Kate Bramford, University of Worcester.
