Latino Families in Therapy
by Celia Jaes Falicov
This book represents an important contribution to the literature on multiculturalism and psychology and provides valuable tools and insights for working with Latino families. Employing an accessible and original multidimensional approach, Falicov presents effective clinical strategies for addressing issues that frequently confront Latino families -- including different migration histories, experiences of racial discrimination, and dilemmas that can result from adapting to a new cultural setting. Through in-depth case illustrations, the author demonstrates that Latinos in the United States are a heterogeneous population from many countries, with a diverse array of belief systems and socioeconomic backgrounds. Yet, some widely shared concerns and traditions are discernible. Readers will learn how to become more sensitive to cultural differences without falling prey to stereotypical assessments that rob clients of their individual histories and choices.
Race and Crime
by Shaun L. Gabbidon
Congratulations to Shaun L. Gabbidon and Helen Taylor Greene for receiving the Coramae R. Mann Award in recognition of his/her contributions to the study of race, crime, and justice from the Division of People of Color and Crime of the American Society of Criminology , November 17, 2005, Toronto, Ontario, Canada!!! “This is one of the best written texts I have read! I have used several books, and I find this text more up-to-date and thorough in covering topics within race and crime that have not been covered by other authors. I would use this text.” -- Stephanie R. Bush-Baskette, J.D., Ph.D., National Council on Crime and Delinquency (NCCD) “Because of the accuracy and timeliness of the material included in this text, as well as its readability and organization, I would give this book a '10' rating.” -- Dr. Michael A. McMorris, Ferris State University Race and Crime provides a compelling analysis of the issues of race and crime in both a historical and contemporary context. Each of nine chapters presents information on race and ethnicity and their impact on the administration of justice. Experiences of racial and ethnic groups (Asians, blacks, Latino(a)s, Native Americans, and whites) in America are examined, focusing primarily on their experiences in the criminal justice system. Unique coverage in this text includes an overview of the history of collecting crime data; historical, contemporary, and nontraditional theoretical perspectives; the history of race and policing, the courts, sentencing, and corrections; and an overview of the historical context of race effects in juvenile justice. The book also provides in-depth analyses of relevant race and crime issues including hate/bias crimes, racial profiling, sentencing disparities, wrongful convictions, felon disenfranchisement, political prisoners, disproportionate minority confinement, minority female delinquency, juveniles and the death penalty, and delinquency prevention. Key features: Comprehensive coverage of Asian, Native American, and Hispanic crime and treatment within the criminal justice system Up-to-date coverage and statistics provide a contemporary discussion context Highlight Boxes—often taken from recent news events—give students an opportunity to reflect on selected topics and issues Numerous photos interspersed throughout the book provide visual enhancement for textual discussions Internet exercises at the end of each chapter focus students on the major issues Race and Crime will be a valuable core text for those taking courses in Race, Ethnicity & Crime. Readers will have a greater appreciation for the similar historical experiences of most American racial and ethnic groups and will see how race and ethnicity has mattered and continues to matter in the administration of criminal justice.
