This is the first book to discern the contribution of Du Bois' work to criminology and criminal justice through a comprehensive review of his papers, articles and books. Beginning with reflections from his childhood, the author traces Du Bois' ideas on crime and justice throughout his life. This includes a unique analysis of Du Bois' experience as an object of the criminal justice system, a review of his FBI file, his 1951 trial and his pioneering social scientific research program at Atlanta University. The book illustrates the depth of Du Bois' interest in the field and reveals how he was a pioneer in key areas of criminology and criminal justice. The book contains five appendices which include four original papers written by Du Bois as well as maps from The Philadelphia Negro.

’This book provides an intelligent, engaging and unique evaluation of a pioneering scholar. By emphasising the significance of Du Bois’ work to contemporary criminology, Dr Gabbidon has ensured that his text is of considerable value to scholars not only in the USA but on a global level.’ Muzammil Quraishi, University of Salford, UK 'Part of Ashgate’s Interdisciplinary Research Series in Ethnic, Gender, and Class Relations, Shaun Gabbidon’s book on W. E. B. Du Bois and crime provides an original and innovative window into this little known area of Du Bois’s research and thought. Though a few other social scientists have briefly explored Du Bois’s criminological work, this is the first major overview book...Gabbidon provides much evidence, drawing on original sources, to back up his contention that Du Bois did important research on and theorizing about U.S. crime, especially as it affected Black Americans. He shows how in many ways Du Bois anticipated later theories of crime in Western criminology.' Criminal Law & Social Change
