- Synopsis
- This book provides an empirical study of media and law enforcement bias in reporting and investigating homicides of African-American women compared with their white counterparts. The author discusses the symbiotic relationship between media coverage and the response from law enforcement to victims of color. A deeply troubling disparity in reporting the disappearance and homicides of female victims reflects racial inequality and institutionalized racism in the social structure that need to be addressed.
