- For your first assignment, you will compile a short annotated bibliography (4 entries) on the potential disparate treatment of individuals in the criminal justice system based on race and/or ethnicity. These four articles can be on any part of the criminal justice system and do not need to all be on the same topic– they just need to be empirical (i.e. they collect and present data on the issue of disparate impacts of the criminal justice system across race and ethnicity). For example, you might research the relationship between an individual’s race and/or ethnicity and their experiences in the court system. You would most likely look for articles that talk about things such as the variation in drug sentencing laws and how those are tied to race, or the negative impact of the bail system on defendants who are poor, which are communities that are disproportionately represented by minorities. Please note, the research and sources that you find do not have to support the hypothesis that the criminal justice system negatively impacts racial and ethnic minorities. There may be empirical research out there that argues in certain areas of the criminal justice system that race and ethnicity play no role in how an individual is treated.
- Identify and include 4 academic sources such as peer-reviewed research articles that present data on the topic at hand. Please make sure you understand what is, and what is not, a peer-reviewed source. The annotation for these entries should be 250 words (±50).
- The articles should be published within the last 10-years or so (2010-present)
- All citations should be in the appropriate APA format.
