Description: David Cole\'s No Equal Justice has already become the seminal work on race and class based double standards in criminal justice. Hailed as a \"shocking, and necessary book\" by the Economist, the work treats topics including police behavior, jury selection, and sentencing, showing how our system depends on these double standards to operate: such disparities allow the privileged to enjoy constitutional protections from police power without paying the costs associated with extending those protections across the board to minorities and the poor.
