Sociology & Criminology for a Changing World
A system of oppression based on racial or ethnic difference.
Racism manifests as structural inequality, discriminatory laws, racial profiling, and violence. In criminology, it explains disparities in policing, sentencing, and incarceration rates.
Critical race theory and abolitionist criminology analyze racism as central to legal systems and social control.
