Continuing its focus on generating research about regional, national, and international issues relevant to the African-American community, the DuBois Institute of Clark Atlanta University in this volume tackles the impact of the criminal justice system on black citizens.

Professor Komanduri S. Murty -- Chairman of the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice at Clark Atlanta University -- has assembled 17 essays organized under these six categories:

• Felon Disfranchisement
• Death Penalty
• Domestic Violence
• Community Policing
• Impact of Incarceration, Imprisonment, and Police Contact
• Criminal Justice Reforms

Scholars, law enforcement officials and judges have prepared a variety of observations and prescriptions, and readers will benefit too from the discussant reports included at the end.
