Asian/Americans Education and Crime

Asian/Americans Education and Crime: The Model Minority as Victim and Perpetrator analyzes Asian/Americans’ interactions with the U.S. criminal justice system as perpetrators and victims of crime. This book contributes to a limited amount of scholarly writing so that researchers policymakers and educators can gain a deeper and more nuanced understanding of the relationship between Asian/Americans and the criminal justice system. In reality Asian/Americans in the United States are both the victims of crime and the perpetrators of crime. However their characterization as the “model minority” masks the victimization and violence they experience in the twenty-first century.
