In Diversity, Crime, and Justice in Canada hate-crime specialist Barbara Perry brings together 16 of the country's leading scholars to address issues of inequality as they intersect with crime and social justice. Students will discover how collective identities - not just race, class, and gender, but religion, ability, sexuality, and age - play a crucial part in determining the nature of an individual's encounter with the criminal justice system. Integrating themes of history and context, power and powerlessness, and social and political action throughout, the text examines the concept of difference, the specific issues that different groups face with respect to the justice system, and the kinds of reform necessary to mitigate inequalities.

Thoroughly updated, the third edition includes the latest statistics, references, and topics - including new content on the COVID-19 pandemic, Black Lives Matter, Missing and Murder Indigenous Women and Girls, and Truth and Reconciliation.
