Is Incarceration Becoming a New Form of Segregation?. Top Story - October 2017.

It is a system of law enforcement that is directly involved in apprehending, prosecuting, defending, sentencing, and punishing those who are suspected or convicted of criminal offenses.

In learning this, I have come to the conclusion that equal treatment through the current criminal justice system is becoming a struggle for minorities.
