Criminal Justice Policy Outline<\/p>\n
Introduction<\/p>\n
Give a brief description of what criminal justice policy entails<\/p>\n
Talk of police, jails and law courts as key part of the criminal justice policy<\/p>\n
Thesis statement<\/p>\n
Justice system should be a free and fair system<\/p>\n
There is a link between race and justice system<\/p>\n
Minority groups often are not favored by policies in place<\/p>\n
Reforms are needed so that even the minority groups are able to be treated free and fair without prejudice<\/p>\n
Statistics point out how criminal justice policies have affected the minority groups<\/p>\n
Most brutality cases that have been reported have happened towards African Americans closely followed by Latinos.<\/p>\n
There is enough evidence in place that shows how our criminal justice system from the police to the law courts are racist.<\/p>\n
Give an example of police brutality case. The Spring Valley High school vide of a police officer dragging an African American Female.<\/p>\n
Police who are part of the criminal justice portray ruthlessness to the minority group<\/p>\n
Trayvon Martin case is a good example. He was murdered by Martin by officer George Zimmerman (Days, pg. 180). George Zimmerman is said to have reported that he had seen a black young man walking in a neighborhood that was predominantly white and had concluded that he was up to no good. There was a scuffle between the two that led to the death of Trayvon and Zimmerman would later defend himself that he was defending himself against a violent 17-year old boy.<\/p>\n
Stop and search police used by police and which should be used in maintaining law and order have often been used to target the minority groups.<\/p>\n
A black person is more likely to be ordered to stop and searched as compared to a white person.<\/p>\n
Court systems also has been affected by racism.<\/p>\n
Most cases involving police brutality that end up in court are often not completely handled well as most of these officers are often not found guilty for example Zimmerman.<\/p>\n
African Americans and other minorities are also likely to receive longer sentences than other races.<\/p>\n
According to a research by the Innovations for Poverty Actions, 40% of people who were incarcerated were African Americans and the African American male were seven times more likely to be incarcerated as compared to the whites. <\/p>\n
Solutions to the issues highlighted <\/p>\n
Body cameras are a great way to help reduce police brutality as it will be recording what is happening.<\/p>\n
Cases against police officer need to be tried by independent prosecutors and not District Attorneys.<\/p>\n
Cases of various judges needs to be reviewed in order to determine if they may have bias passing judgment according to race<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/p>\n
Criminal justice policies ate needed in order to ensure that there is equality when it comes to matters of justice.<\/p>\n
When policies are implemented it may help in reducing the high number of incarceration rate among African Americans<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
