The Social History of Crime In America: An Encylopedia


Many people are not concerned with the actual research of knowledge, only their own personal prejudices and what they think supports their bigotry.

I had no idea that this particular book which cost $600.00 is on the internet.  (Well the whole book is not there a]but about 1200 ages of it is).  But for those who would actually like to know about the history of crime in America this is an excellent source. 

For those who choose to continue their ignorant ranting's about people being racist when citing the information which has been provided by countless criminologist, sociologist, anthropologist, historians. psychologist and psychiatrist, and criminal researchers...this is an excellent source of information for you to passionately avoid--because it will burst all your bubbles.
