Summary

The authors take a novel approach of framing debates in relation to individual and collective responses to discriminatory practices, moving beyond the standard victim/perpetrator approach to show the complex modes of resistance used to overcome marginalization by ethnic minorities.

Race, Crime and Resistance Summary

Race, Crime and Resistance by Tina G. Patel

In a post-Macpherson, post-9/11 world, criminal justice agencies are adapting their responses to criminal behaviour across diverse ethnic groups. Race, Crime and Resistance draws on contemporary theory and a range of case studies to consider racial inequalities within the criminal justice system and related organisations.

Exploring the mechanisms of discrimination and exclusion, the book goes beyond superficial assumptions to examine the ensuing processes of mobilisation and resistance across disadvantaged groups. Empirically grounded and theoretically informed, the book critically unpicks the persisting concepts of race and ethnicity in the perceptions and representations of crime.

Articulate and sensitive, the book clarifies complex ideas through the use of chapter summaries, case studies, further reading and study questions. It is essential reading for students and scholars of criminology, race and ethnicity, and sociology.

Race, Crime and Resistance Reviews

A critical and inter-disciplinary perspective that helps to shed new light upon the intersections between resistance, race, crime and politics
Dr. Basia Spalek
Reader in Communities & Justice, School of Social Policy, University of Birmingham

A thoughtful and lively examination of key concepts and developments in the race and crime debate. The authors rethink some fundamental questions about institutional racism and show how scientific racism continues to be a pervasive influence in the criminal justice sphere
Hindpal Singh Bhui
Inspection Team Leader, HM Inspectorate of Prisons

Patel and Tyrer write from a critical criminological perspective, with a usefully broad conception of crime, incorporating state crime, hate crime and criminalization... It is structured and presented as a text book (with revision questions and further readings), yet has arguments that will certainly challenge established scholars in the various fields that it traverses. It accessibly introduces terms, concepts and debates, yet adopts some of the expressive style as well as conceptual complexities of writing from the 'posts' and the 'isms' that it deploys; it is no easy read. It is well worth the read, however, and has plenty for readers of all levels and most persuasions.
