CRIMINAL JUSTICE REFORM AND RACIAL DISPARITIES

This is the case regardless of the location of the incident. Despite the fact that it could seem to be an unfair practice, this is the case. According to the findings of a poll, BAME communities—that is, populations of people of African, Asian, and minority ethnicity—are disproportionately adversely affected by the police. As a consequence of this, the length of time that they spend behind bars is often longer than that of those of white identity. The disparities in the manner in which individuals of different races are dealt with within the criminal justice system give rise to significant concerns about the effectiveness of the whole justice system. If there are injustices that are related with racism inside the court system, then such injustices will have an effect on the whole basis of the institution. As a result, the purpose of this study is to conduct an exhaustive analysis of the ways in which racism leads to prejudice against a particular group within the framework of the criminal justice system in the United Kingdom. There is a substantial body of data indicating that the criminal justice system is rife with instances of racial injustice. The purpose of this study is to investigate the racial disparities that exist in three aspects of the judicial system: the police force, the rates of incarceration, and the requirements for jury duty. The existence of unconscious racial bias may be the cause of some of these discrepancies, despite the fact that it is very likely that this is not the case for all of these differences.
