Examines Israel's criminal justice system in the context of the volatile relationship between Jews and Arabs.

How does the Israeli criminal justice system treat its most significant minority group—the Arabs? This book explores the functioning of Israel's criminal justice system in the context of the volatile relationship between Jews and Arabs in Israel and the conflict between Jews and the Palestinians of the occupied territories. Examining decisions at each juncture of the system, the authors study the question of whether the system treats Arabs fairly and equally or discriminates against them.

Aware of the potentially volatile nature of the subject, the authors have taken care to make the book methodologically sound and their findings level-headed. Their study shows that despite legislative efforts to protect minority rights and treat all citizens as equals, these goals are not always achieved. Arabs are treated differently in the criminal justice system.

Arye Rattner and Gideon Fishman have produced a landmark study of the treatment of Jews and Arabs by the Israeli criminal justice system. Using large and comprehensive data bases, they present compelling evidence of discriminatory treatment in the criminal justice system against both Israeli Arabs and Palestinians. The authors rightly warn of the ominous potential consequences of resulting perceptions of criminal injustice among minority groups in this as well as other democratic societies.—John Hagan^LUniversity of Toronto

[This book] is the definitive statement on the operation of the Israeli criminal justice system and the disparities it generates in the treatment of the Israeli Arabs and Jews....This book is readable, filled with surprising sidebars, conceptually interesting and current. The quantitative research is sophisticated in its design, methodology and data analysis. It is a must read for those interested in cross-cultural criminology.—Simon Dinitz^LProfessor Emeritus^LOhio State University
