Their provocative work, drawing insights from criminology, criminal justice, anthropology, and sociology, is a seminal step in efforts to understand the intersection of race and violence UR - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781626376434 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/isbn/9781626376434 UR - https://www.degruyter.com/document/cover/isbn/9781626376434/original ER -
