THE BLACK CRIMINALITY MYTH - form of political resistance // riots form black criminality, negative stereotyping and prejudice from the police

COUNTER EVAL: LEA AND YOUNG
most crimes reported by public - so not police racist // selective racism (Black> Asian) Stats show first-gen immigrants were law-abiding
