2 Criminal Law Fall Update Race and the Criminal Justice System It is not new information that minorities are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. One difficult question we may ask ourselves is how do we as members of the legal profession contribute to this problem? And yet more difficult can we do anything to change it? The recent deaths of unarmed African-American men at the hands of white police officers have brought racial inequality back to the forefront of the American consciousness. Social science research shows striking racial disparities at nearly every level from arrest rates, to bail amounts, to sentence lengths, to probation hearing outcomes. A quick look at the numbers: 2.2 MILLION: The number of prisoners in the U.S. which has quadrupled from only 500,000 in PERCENT: The share of the world's prisoners that are in the U.S., even though we're only home to 5 percent of the world's population. 60 PERCENT: The share of U.S. prisoners that are either African American or Latino. "About one in every 35 African American men, one in every 88 Latino men is serving time right now," the President said. "Among white men, that number is one in 214." 80 BILLION: The amount we spend each year to keep people incarcerated in America.* Attend this year's Criminal Law Fall Update to join the difficult conversation about race in the criminal justice system, and to join in being proactive in your daily practice to be part of the solution toward racial equality in the cell in the courtroom and in our community.
