Gringo injustice : insider perspectives on police, gangs, and law

Mirandâe, Alfredo, editor

Overview

The recent mass shooting of 22 innocent people in El Paso by a lone White gunman looking to 'Kill Mexicans' is not new. It is part of a long bloody history of Anti-Latino violence in the U.S. 'Gringo Injustice' brings that history to life, exploring the complex relationship between Latinos and the legal and judicial system in the 21st century. Insiders with first-hand knowledge and experience, including cops, gang members, attorneys, and community activists, share insider perspectives, on topics like lynchings, hate crimes, gangs, racial profiling, and police violence. Highlighting the hyper-criminalization of barrio youth and the disproportionate imprisonment of Latinos, 'Gringo Injustice' examines why there is so little public concern with these issues and gives policy recommendations and alternative solutions.
