How we can understand race, crime, and punishment in the age of Black Lives MatterWhen The Color of Crime was first published in 1998, it was heralded as a pathbreaking book on race and crime. Now, in its third edition, Katheryn RussellBrowns book is more relevant than ever, as police killings of unarmed Black civilianssuch as George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Daniel Prudecontinue to make headlines around the world. She continues to ask, why do Black and white Americans perceive police actions so differently? Is white fear of Black crime justified?With three new chapters, over forty new racial hoax cases, and other timely updates, this edition offers an even more expansive view of crime and punishment in the twentyfirst century. RussellBrown gives us muchneeded insight into some of the most recent racial hoaxes, such as the one perpetrated by Amy Cooper. Should perpetrators of racial hoaxes be charged with a felony? Further, RussellBrown makes a compelling case for race and crime literacy and the need to address and name White crime. RussellBrown powerfully concludes the book with a parable that invites readers to imagine what would happen if Blacks decided to abandon the United States. RussellBrown explores the tacit and subtle ways that crime is systematically linked to people of color. The Color of Crime is a lucid and forceful volume that calls for continued vigilance on the part of scholars, policymakers, journalists, and others in the age of Black Lives Matter.
