Editorial: Press Release: African Criminology and Justice Association Policy Proposal on Black Unemployment

Abstract

This resolution was tabled at the annual meeting of the African Criminology and Justice Association in November, 2011, Washington D.C. Following a debate, the meeting voted to approve the resolution. A text of the resolution was later circulated by email for approval by the members and following approval, it was released to the press. A similar resolution was earlier drafted for an association of black social scientists but they are yet to approve it for release. I commend the members of the African Criminology and Justice Association for approving this resolution the way they approved the earlier resolution against the war on African Americans.
