Crime and Justice in the Trump Era documents the impact of Trump administration policies on (1) violence against women, (2) the treatment of persons of color, (3) corporate and environmental crime (both domestic and international), and (4) federal crime control policy. First, the book examines how the policies of Donald Trumpâs administration have affected the rights and safety of female Americansâin particular, violence against women, including sexual assault. The book then goes on to explore President Trumpâs very public stances devaluing people of colorâwhether they reside within the nationâs borders or are seeking entry into the United States. Next, the collection evaluates the collateral costs attached to the ongoing campaign to reduce regulations that protect consumers, workers, and the environment. Likewise, the valuing Americaâs narrow self-interests may also have effects internationally, where crime and violence may be tied to Trumpâs promotion of White nationalism, toleration of human rights violations, and denial of climate change. Lastly, criminal justice policies are examined, both in the early stages of Trumpâs presidency, which were marked by his get-tough rhetoric, along with the more recent support for the First Step Act. The authors represent different perspectives in the disciplineâcritical/feminist and mainstream criminologists, quantitative and qualitative scholars, and students of both street and white-collar crime. Taken together, this book reflects a variety of criminological voices and advances immeasurably our understanding of the Trump administrationâs influence on crime and justice in America. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Victims \u0026 Offenders: An International Journal of Evidence-based Research, Policy, and Practice. |
