COP VIOLENCE Police Use of Excessive And Deadly Force in The United States (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book focuses on the use of excessive and deadly force executed by law enforcement agencies in the context of a racial bias operating throughout the United States and its criminal justice systems. America's criminal system, past and present, openly displays an enormous amount of inequality and injustice against African American males, females, and other minorities. Are law enforcement agencies and the criminal justice system allowing police officers the right to desecrate minorities through the use of excessive and deadly force?

This book focuses on the consequences of a U.S. legal system that seldom, if ever, provides any retributive justice to police officers who kill unarmed African American, Native American, and Hispanic males. This book will demonstrate that minority male lives in America "do not matter" as much as Caucasian male lives do, based on the differential responses of police officers to these demographic groupings.

This book reviews "up close and personal" seven cases of police killing unarmed African American males during the summer of 2014. By the way, supplemental data on excessive and deadly use of force by the police are used to help contextualize this form of discriminatory control over the past quarter of a century.

The higher rates of excessive and deadly use of force aimed at African American males, particularly in contested or violent neighborhoods, underscores a form of ethnic and racial injustice in America. In the affected areas, these social realities call not only for changes in policing but also in the socio-economic relations and the organizational structures of ethnically depressed communities.
