Heather Macald The Justice System
The Justice System During slavery and the Jim Crow error, the justice system was beyond biased. I don’t believe that the justice system is racist today. If you're willing to do the crime than you're willing to do the time. Heather Mac Donald states,” a 1987 analysis of Georgia felony convictions, for example, found that blacks frequently received more lenient punishment.” Here it says that blacks get a longer sentence for the committed crime as too other races. In the last paragraph Heather Mac Donald says,” the evidence is clear: black prison rates result from crime, not racism.” The justice system looks at their offenses as well as criminal records. The longer your record, the longer your sentence. In 2006 Heather Mac Donald stated,”
about one in 33 black men were in prison, compared with one in 205 white men and one in 79 Hispanic men.” The data shows that there were more whites in jail than any other race. If you do a crime you are more than likely going to jail not matter what race you are. Every justice system is different, and it also depends on the judge you have. One judge may think you need a longer sentence,and another may think you need a shorter sentence. The justice system isn’t biased, I believe the crimes put you in prison. There is a reason for everything. A reason for blacks and whites being arrested, cops wouldn’t just arrest you for the fun of it. If you break the law you should suspect to get in trouble for your actions. Justice systems looks at the crimes not the race, they look at offenses and criminal records. If you have a long criminal record whether you're black or white, it makes the judge think you should have a longer sentence.
