Book Synopsis


Trade Review
Latinas in the Criminal Justice System shines an important light on a topic long neglected by criminologists and criminology. Lopez and Pasko elevate the often ignored voices and situations of Latina girls and women, who are often invisible in the many debates about immigration. A must read. -- Meda Chesney-Lind, co-author of Beyond Bad Girls: Gender, Violence and Hype
Contributing authors masterfully examine and vividly delineate the historical, social, legal, and ideological forces governing the Latina experience with the penal system and mainstream American society. In a highly charged political era, this book is a timely contribution to help educate readers about police, law and society, race/ethnic relations, and social and legal reform. -- M.G Urbina * Choice *
