Abstract

"Steeped in a Culture of Violence: Murder, Racial Injustice, and Other Crimes in Texas, 1965–2020" is a comprehensive and well-sourced collection that explores the history of violence in Texas over the past 55 years. The book covers various topics such as murder, intimate partner violence, hate crimes, racial violence, urban gangs, prison violence, and mass shootings. While the book does not address the effects of deinstitutionalization and the relationship between mental illness and violent crime, it provides valuable insights for historians, criminologists, law enforcement professionals, and policymakers interested in understanding the patterns of crime and punishment in Texas.
