Genre
Explanation and Analysis:

Just Mercy is nonfiction, educating readers about an aspect of the real world. Like most works of sociopolitical or legal nonfiction, Stevenson delivers an evidence-based argument about his subject: the criminal justice system in the United States is steeped in a deep history of racist cruelty. It would be more just (and more aligned with the ideals outlined in the Constitution) if it treated everyone more mercifully.
