""Historian and criminologist Adler reveals how today’s police brutality against African Americans has its roots in the racialized policing of nearly a century ago. Focusing on race-based law enforcement policies and practices during the1920s and 1930s, Adler marshals an extraordinary array of documents—crime surveys, homicide witness transcripts, autopsy reports, newspaper articles—to vividly illustrate the racial disparities in American criminal justice in New Orleans and throughout the urban South. . . . Highly recommended."" * CHOICE *
