Cultural Diversity and the Administration of Justice: A Brief Reader explores the peculiar relationship between cultural diversity and the administration of criminal justice. The anthology examines the impact diverse cultural perspectives have on law enforcement, legal proceedings, corrections, and crime prevention. Topics discussed within the text include the vital issues of colorism, the disparities in media coverage of missing persons across racial lines, and the treatment of individuals within the criminal legal system. Furthermore, it investigates the notion of culturally diverse law enforcement and its influence on public perceptions and trust. The book is structured in three parts with each focusing on a different aspect of cultural diversity and its influence on justice administration. The first section delves into perceptions of race, identifying the nuances within racial stratification and how societal influences, like media, affect these views. The second segment examines how cultural diversity and systemic biases interplay within the criminal legal system's processing. The final part addresses diversity's role in the context of punishment and rehabilitation, spotlighting reforms in policing and the concept of therapeutic jurisprudence. Through its exploration of challenging topics, Cultural Diversity and the Administration of Justice aims to inspire meaningful discourse and reform, making it a timely addition to the academic discussion on justice in a culturally diverse society. It is ideal for courses related to cultural diversity in criminal justice, social work, sociology, and criminology.

"This ground-breaking textbook engages readers in conversation about responding to the effects of diversity within formal criminal justice systems in Westernized nation-states. Moving past a binary concept of diversity that involves only race and gender, this book elaborates upon a wide variety of other forms of diversity, including sexuality, disability, mental health, gendered identity, refugees, the young and the ageing, and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) peoples, with an awareness of how intersecting identities make some people more vulnerable than others. With reported statistics providing only a snapshot of the incongruent experiences of diverse minorities in contact with criminal justice systems, there is a clear need for nuanced training and accessible information regarding diversity in criminal justice. The book examines diversity in terms of both criminal justice agents and justice-involved individuals such as people in prison, those convicted of crimes, the victimized, and the community. This volume brings together a group of international scholars to articulate on each of the identified populations, examining the effect of culture and diversity on criminal justice outcomes and outlining how those diverse perspectives can improve criminal justice service delivery overall. Incorporating case studies, reflections, and activity questions, this book is a valuable resource for courses in criminology, criminal justice, corrections, and law enforcement, and is ideal for any program focusing on multiculturalism and diversity in criminal justice. Scholars, researchers, and professionals will also benefit from the analysis"--
