Product Description
Investigating Difference examines the full range of individual differences across the entire criminal justice system. Moving beyond just race and gender, it tackles differences based on experience, age, socio-economic class, disabilities and more. Written by a variety of leaders in the field, it looks at how these variances impact all people within the system, including victims, offenders, and service providers. This edition continues to emphasize positive solutions and includes new “case-in-point” illustrations that discuss how difference matters. For anyone interested in the criminal justice system with regard to diversity and multicultural issues.

This book shows the true aspect of what people go through when they deal with cops and what it is like for other races. It shows the racism of the country and how it has been there for many years and it is embedded in the police force. This is not an easy book to read, but it is a necessary one for everyone that is going to deal with the public in any way. At times it seems filled with a lot of hate, but that is the realism of this nation and to change it we have to face it. Read the book, it is worth it.
