American Public University System

Description

We have read Angela Davis's essay about alternatives to incarceration, and we have read a memoir by John Edgar Wideman that looks at how his brother's imprisonment affected him. One work is an essay written by an academic and activist; the other is a very personal story told by a critically acclaimed writer of fiction and nonfiction. Both works attempt to make a case about criminal justice reform as they confront a set of challenges that have been created by America's criminal justice system

Now it's your turn. For this writing project, all students will write a letter that addresses one or more challenges in our criminal justice system. Your letter will need to be addressed to Davis. You may personalize your letter if you think being personal will help you communicate ideas effectively. In addition, your finished writing project must include the following:

*At least 1800 words of double-spaced content that is written in a 12-point, Times New Roman font.

*At least one in-text citation from the Davis essay and at least one in-text citation from the Wideman memoir (so you'll be quoting or paraphrasing both writers in your letter).

*A thesis or position statement in the first paragraph of your letter.

*Proper paragraphing. Every paragraph should therefore have a topic sentence and other sentences that provide supporting details.

*A separate Works Cited page that is in addition to the letter you are required to submit.

Also:

Your paper should be original. Your paper should not merely be a plot analysis or something akin to a book report..

Ultimately, the format for the final draft of this writing project will be a letter that is at least 1,800 words and is double-spaced and written in a 12-point, Times New Roman font. This final document should also include a Works Cited page that is IN ADDITION to your letter.

Examination of criminal justice challenges
A.

To examine the challenges in our criminal justice, it is wise to check on
criminalization. Criminalization refers to the idea of making an activity illegal or
handle a person as a criminal. Examining criminality from the dimensions of both
poverty and color as interactive dimensions perpetuate negative community
stereotypes and views such that being a person of color, or being poor, is deemed
criminal.

B.

Criminalization is at the base of the concurrent and sustained over the monitoring of
targeted persons and communities and under the monitoring of others and the
contrasting results that outcome from that supervision, like harassment, execution of
force, and asset forfeiture detention, fines, and incarceration. The criminal justice
system has the power to make sure that these issues are put to rest.

profiling and criminalization when it comes to interaction with justice, education,
immigration, and other systems of power.
B.

Intersection of gender, race, and violence is often unexamined in debates of
criminalization and racial profiling. Black youths experience high levels of policing in
their neighborhoods. Over monitoring in school setup and the criminalization of
youths behaviors push scholars of color out of school and into links with the criminal
justice setups.

IV.

Weaknesses of criminal justice system
A.

Criminalization, as well as ethnic outlining, are signs of the institutional discernment
and orderly racism that are deeply grounded in the bylaws, policies, and undertakings
of law enforcement, immigration, school, and different administrative entities. They
work as guiding principles that shape and impact the police force, immigration
personnel, and school officials with Black persons.

B.

There is no doubt that racial profiling and criminalization sway decisions regarding
which societies to police, where to deploy police forces, when and where to channel
immigration personnel, and how to develop immigration guiding principles.

V.

Lots of reorganizations are required
A.

The criminal justice system has raised various controversies when it comes to its role
an aspect prompting academics to carry out further study on the subject. But with
relevant measures in place there is no doubt of realizing a better scope of criminal
justice system.
