Policing the Black Man confronts the crisis of the criminal justice system and its deep-rooted racism. Acclaimed civil rights lawyer Angela J. Davis assembles a team of leading scholars and advocates to explore the many facets of the crisis, from biased policing and racial profiling to the disproportionate imprisonment of African Americans. Together, they lay bare the brutal realities of systemic oppression and its corrosive impact on black communities across America.
