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

An exploration into the criminal justice system in America today and its impact on young African American males, this book challenges the linking of crime and race and the conservative anti-welfare, hard-on-crime agenda. Jerry Miller has spent a lifetime studying and challenging our criminal justice system. He has worked to make it more progressive and more just. He has watched as it turned into a system of segregation and control for many Americans of color. That is the story told here in devastating detail. In this new edition, the author re-evaluates his original theses and places the book's predictions in a contemporary political context. The new edition includes new chapters as well as a new prologue and epilogue.
