Drawing upon 25 years of experience representing black youth in Washington D.C.'s juvenile court, Kris Henning confronts America's irrational, manufactured fears of Black youth and makes a case that the crisis in racist American policing begins with its relationship to Black children.
What The Reviewers Say
A professor on Georgetown’s law faculty, she offers the rare and trenchant perspective that deep study of legal theory and deep respect for real-world practice can bring.
... a rich combination of stories about her clients, copious data about juvenile justice and painstaking research into high-profile cases like those of Emmett Till, the Central Park Five, Trayvon Martin and Tamir Rice.
... powerful.
Henning brings to bear a wealth of scholarship as well as her decades of legal experience defending DC-area youth.
