Disproportionate Minority Contact: Current Issues and Policies focuses on a variety of topics related to minority overrepresentation and disparity in the criminal and juvenile justice systems. The goal of this edited volume is to provide an assortment of information on overrepresentation and disparity in one collection. This volume is capable of serving as a standalone text or works well as a supplement to a traditional textbook on race and crime. Likewise, this volume is written in such a way that it is also practical enough for those working in the justice system to use it as a tool for exploring and implementing change in their jurisdiction.

For the second edition, nine of the original chapters were revised and three chapters were added. All of the revisions and writing took place after the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.
