The Injustice of the Justice System.

As a student going into the field of Criminal Justice and also finding a personal passion for the importance of diversity, I was shocked when I first started hearing about the disproportionate amount of minorities involved in the system. I believe different ideas and demographics are vital to progress and change, and seeing the inequality of the justice system encouraged me to look more into this problem. I used resources I had come across throughout my classes at Ferris, and additional research to find more information on the extent of the issue. I focused on the concepts of a racist system and the impact of the War on Drugs in particular. Though certain races and thnicities make up a minority of the national population, they make up the numerical majority of those incarcerated. Changes in policies or individual actions need to occur in order to combat this dilemma.
