Race , Class & Ethnicity |
For much of our history , the administration of justice has always been about controlling the minority outside of the ruling class . In fact , race and ethnicity necessarily influence individual experiences in the criminal justice system , as well as within the broader society . The purpose of this class is to critically examine the characteristics of race and ethnicity and how they are used to bias decisions within our criminal justice system . Students will investigate the past and present behavior of the courts , correctional institutions , and law enforcement officials , and the possibility of prejudiced policies and practices utilized to rule against minority classes . Additionally , interracial crime is addressed , with a focus on how the criminal justice system has inadequately addressed the correlates that lead to the perpetuation of such destructive actions . |
