Know about the book -

Race, Gender, and Punishment is written by Mary Bosworth and published by Rutgers University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0813539048 (ISBN 10) and 9780813539041 (ISBN 13).

In this book, Mary Bosworth and Jeanne Flavin bring together twelve original essays by prominent scholars to examine not only the discrimination that is evident, but also the structural and cultural forces that have influenced and continue to perpetuate the current situation. Contributors point to four major factors that have impacted public sentiment and criminal justice policy: colonialism, slavery, immigration, and globalization. In doing so they reveal how practices of punishment not only need particular ideas about race to exist, but they also legitimate them.
