Examines coroners' inquest reports, court case files, prison registers, and other sources to analyze patterns of homicide and the state's embryonic justice system. This book explains that the nature of crimes varied with the ethnicity of perpetrators and victims, as did the conduct and results of trials and sentencing patterns.
Clare V. McKanna, Jr., is the author of Homicide, Race, and Justice in the American West; The Trial of Indian Joe; and White Justice in Arizona: Apache Murder Trials in the Nineteenth Century. He is a lecturer in the departments of history and American Indian studies at San Diego State University.
Pressestimmen
"McKanna's research... implicitly and explicitly illustrates how much violent activity was once interracial, as contrasted with contemporary statistics indicating that homicide within racial or ethnic groups is more often the norm.... McKanna concludes his study with an engaging foray into the occasionally contentious discussions about the extent of violence in the West. In providing a detailed account of how whites won the struggle for power in the courts, McKanna's work is significant." - Journal of San Diego History"
