Reviews

The historic and current relationship of Latinos to our criminal justice system is laid before the readers in stark reality. It is indeed a must-read not only for the professionals (police, lawyers, prosecutors, and judges) but also for the many citizens who are not Latino and who have never personally experienced a breakdown of the justice system. Cruz Reynoso, retired Justice, California Supreme Court; Professor Emeritus, University of California, Davis School of Law
