Media Response: Racism in the Criminal Justice

Write a scholarly response to these media representations (minimum 500 words). These selections are all related, so I do not want separate responses, but rather one response reflecting on them as a whole. The following list includes some suggestions to help guide your responses, should you choose to consider them. This response is yours so include what you feel is appropriate.

• How do the articles make you feel?

• Do you find the arguments surprising, angering, confusing…..?

• Do you agree or disagree with arguments?

• Are these articles in line with what most people think (the common opinion)?

• Do these articles make you feel better or worse about becoming a member of the criminal justice system? Explain
