Policing the Black Man: Arrest, Prosecution, and Imprisonment by Angela J. Davis

3.0

This is a collection of essays from the leading legal scholars and practitioners living today. However, the editing could have been a lot tighter. Unfortunately, this was very repetitive in content. Perhaps, because the scope was so narrow? This is better suited to those with no legal background whatsoever (ex: the person that always wonders how the police or the system gets away with doing something awful). Some of the essays really go into depth on how court cases got us to where we are today with a lot of nuance but having just finished three years of legal studies and presently working within the juvenile “justice” system, I wasn’t the right audience for this book.
