No Equal Justice: Race and Class in the American Criminal Justice System
New York: The New Press, 1999. Softcover. 8vo, 218 pp. Later print. Index. Hailed as a 'shocking and necessary book' by The Economist, this title has become the standard reference point for researchers trying to understand the fundamental inequalities in the American legal system. Written by constitutional law scholar and civil liberties advocate David Cole, and named the best nonfiction book of 1999 by the Boston Book Review and the best book on an issue of national policy by the American Political Science Association, it examines subjects ranging from police behavior and jury selection to sentencing, and argues that our system does not merely fail to live up to the promise of equality, but actively requires double standards to operate. Fine in pictorial wraps. Item #502202604
