Document Summary
Now, we"re beginning to look at the more critical conversations associated with studies of our criminal justice system. We"re looking at the effects that law and order politics, and the increased use of security as a foundation for approaches to criminal justice and social control, have in our society. There is little doubt that there is a race, ethnicity and indigenous problem in the criminal justice system and corrections systems. In the us, it tends to be historically focused primarily on race (and ethnicity to a lesser degree) In the early 2000s in the us, of african american males would be incarcerated or arrested at some point and time in their life. 17% of hispanic males would suffer the same fate. Only 3-4% of white males would have a similar problem. African american males were 8x more likely to be arrested than white males. Hispanic males were 3x more likely to be arrested as compared to white males.
