Think, Talk and Tackle Contemporary Diversity Issues in Criminal Justice analyzes many contemporary situations like recent shootings to assist readers in understanding the underlying factors involved.
Think, Talk and Tackle Contemporary Diversity Issues in Criminal Justice covers many pertinent topics such as how stereotyping about crime influences attitudes, policies and behaviors towards groups including migrants; how criminal justice response impacts underreporting of rape; how societal views affect the prevalence of violent hate crimes motivated by homophobia, Islamophobia, political affiliation or other prejudices; and how the failure to recognize and properly respond to people in mental crisis can result in excessive force including death. Each of these, and other topics are examined extensively.
Written in a workshop format, the publication is designed to facilitate private self-awareness of crime-related unconscious bias (Think); provide relevant and striking conversation starters leading to rich open-forum discussions (Talk); and activities for readers to identify current strategies as well as motivate through theoretical insight on how to mitigate disparities in criminal justice (Tackle).

June Werdlow Rogers is a dedicated crime-fighter. She grew up in Detroit and first became interested in criminal justice while attending college as an undergraduate. Dr. Rogers served as a Detroit police officer and also with Central Michigan University Department of Public Safety before becoming a federal agent. She earned a PhD in Criminal Justice and Criminology from the University of Maryland (1997), and after serving 28 years in law enforcement she retired as the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New England Special Agent in Charge in 2008.

Currently, she is an instructor of college students and first line police supervisors; an advocate for equality and fairness of marginalized criminal justice employees; and conducts research of police crime control strategies. She has also written several articles including serving as a co-author of Assessing causal effects under treatment heterogeneity: An evaluation of a CCTV program in Detroit (2022).
