Do you believe policing practices such as “stop and frisk” are more beneficial to social order than harmful to specific populations? Explain your position using at least one specific example to support your position. When it comes to the example of the Oregon Standoff, Ammon Bundy and six others (all white) stood trial for occupying a federal wildlife refuge, where they fortified their position with heavy ammunition, often aiming high-powered, military rifles at federal agents. All were found to be not guilty and released. Do you think the outcome would have been the same had these individuals not been white? Explain your position using at least one specific example to support your position. Students are also expected to address the following: Does the U.S. criminal justice system adequately address crime? If so, how? If not, why not? Students are expected to discuss possible relationships of race, socioeconomic status, gender, sexuality and intersectionality in relation to the criminal justice process with attention to policing, diversion, court administration, sentencing, and community correctional programs. Students are expected to provide relevant examples and specific quotes from The New Jim Crow (with page numbers) to support their statements.
