"Races didn't bother the Americans," wrote the U.S. poet Archibald MacLeish. "They were the first self-constituted, self- created people in the history of the world." MacLeish was right, but this book shows that race crimes, like other forms of criminal behavior, have always existed in the United States and other countries. America's greatest racial problem was handed down from the institution of slavery during a terrible period in our nation's history. Although African Americans have made giant strides in all fields, they and other minorities still encounter prejudice. It comes from a small but active group of Americans who resist their country's enduring belief that all people are created equal. Race and Crime clearly explains the notion of race, the types of crimes that result from racial prejudice, and the methods used to fight and eliminate this serious worldwide problem. 588 0 Online resource; title from home page (EBSCO, viewed Feb. 22, 2007). 590 EBSCOhost|bSocINDEX with Full Text 650 0 Minorities|xCrimes against|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Crime and race|vJuvenile literature. 650 0 Violent crimes|vJuvenile literature. 650 1 Hate crimes. 650 1 Violent crimes. 650 1 Prejudices. 650 7 Crime and race.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00883028 650 7 Minorities|xCrimes against.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01023104 650 7 Violent crimes.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01167321 650 7 Hate crimes|vJuvenile literature.|2sears 650 7 Race relations|vJuvenile literature.|2sears 650 7 Minorities|vJuvenile literature.|2sears 655 7 Juvenile works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411637 700 1 Wright, John D.,|d1938-|tRace & crimes. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aWright, John D., 1938-|tRace and crimes. |dBroomall, PA : Mason Crest Publishers, ©2003|z1590843789 |w(DLC) 2003000489|w(OCoLC)51566668 830 0 Crime and detection. 914 ocm84846188 994 92|bSTJ
