In Bias in the Law, sixteen outstanding experts address the impact of racial bias in the full roster of criminal justice actors. They examine the role of legislators crafting criminal justice legislation, community enforcers, and police, as well as prosecutors, criminal defense attorneys, judges, and jurors. Understanding when and why bias arises, as well as how it impacts defendants requires a clear understanding how each of these actors operate. Contributions touch on other crucial topics--racialized drug stigma, legal technology, and interventions--that are vital for understanding how the United States has reached this moment of stark racial disparity in incarceration. The result is an important entry into understanding the pervasiveness of racial bias, how such bias impacts legal outcomes, and why such impact matters. This is an issue that is as relevant today as it was fifty--or even one hundred fifty--years ago, and collection editors Joseph Avery and Joel Cooper provide a glimpse at how to proceed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoseph Avery is graduate fellow of the Woodrow Wilson Scholars at Princeton University. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJoel Cooper is professor of psychology at Princeton University.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 238\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 12, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48664434901241,"sku":"9781793601032","price":186.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/vow6e2DKHo9781793601032.webp?v=1784013334","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/bias-in-the-law-a-definitive-look-at-racial-prejudice-in-the-u-s-criminal-justice-system-hardcover","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
