Racial Barriers/ Injustices in the Criminal Justice System
Outline:
I. Introduction
In this paper I will be discussing the racial barriers and the injustices that go on in law enforcement. I will be giving details on the different racial disparities that many people as well as police officers face. When it comes to racial disparities it’s not only a black and white issue, but law enforcement is also filled with different cultures and there are many people who are mistreated and targeted. Police brutality is a big issue as well and from this issue a lot of lives have been taken from mistakes police officers have made. Lastly, I will discuss the many barriers’ women face in law enforcement, women are sometimes look passed and harassed and this is a not much popular issue people like to talk about.
