Book Review of Search and Destroy : African-American Males in the Criminal Justice System

Search and Destroy : African-American Males in the Criminal Justice System
reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


This book follows up Miller's classic "Last One Over the Wall," about his years heading Massachusetts' juvenile justice system, with a stinging indictment of politicized crime policy and flawed criminological research and interpretation. Miller shows how young, minority males bear the brunt of misguided, heavy-handed law enforcement, especially in the name of the so-called "War on Drugs." Published 15 years ago, but sadly more true than ever.
