With balanced coverage and current events Multiculturalism, Crime and Criminal Justice expands one's understanding of multiculturalism and diversity as they relate to crime and the criminal justice system.

Multiculturalism, Crime, and Criminal Justice, Third Edition, provides an overview of the problems and promises of cultural diversity in society and within all facets of the criminal justice system. It focuses on how different marginalized groups--African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, women, the LGBTQ+ community, the elderly, and juveniles--are impacted by law enforcement, the courts, and correctional agencies, addressing the issues that each group faces. It also examines how multiculturalism affects those who work within the criminal justice system, including members of minority groups.

Robert Hartmann McNamara is currently a professor of criminal justice at the Citadel. Ronald Burns is department chair and professor of criminal justice at Texas Christian University (TCU).
