Protection against discrimination
Discrimination is the act of making unjustified distinctions between people based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong.[1] People may be discriminated on the basis of race, gender, age, religion, disability or sexual orientation, as well as other categories.[2] Discrimination especially occurs when individuals or groups are unfairly treated in a way which is worse than other people are treated, on the basis of their actual or perceived membership in certain groups or social categories.[2][3] It involves restricting members of one group from opportunities or privileges that are available to members of another group.[4]

The Horrific Brutal Madame Delphine and Her House of Horrors
Madame Delphine LaLaurie was a high society lady who lived in New Orleans. As with many families during these times, she kept enslaved people. She was considered a respected member of society and could be seen in public treating her staff well. However, it was behind closed doors that the truth lay. Laurie was one of the cruellest mistresses in history and America's first female serial killer. Rumour has been mixed with reality throughout the years, but even the truth proves her to be one of the most brutal women in history.

Impact of Diversity on the Criminal Justice System
Reviewing the case of State v. Hunt, we learn that the blood type did not match Mr. Hunt’s blood type. Today it is important to examine the crime scene thoroughly because there is a lot of valuable information in a single droplet of blood. Blood samples help not only the victim but also the possible accused attacker. (Pokupcic, 2017) In 1987 DNA evidence was first used in the United States for investigations. Thus, making the fact that the assailant’s DNA not was not a match an irrelevant fact at the time. (EasyDNA, 2021) While Mr. Hunt had proof in October of 1994 the jury still found him guilty even though the semen found and tested was not his. They stated that they never found semen and it was not in the criminal report. The judge ruled that when they “found” semen and it was tested that it was not enough evidence to prove his innocence. After nineteen long years Mr. Hunt was released because his attorney asked that Hunt’s DNA be run through the database which concluded to find evidence that the murderer was already in prison for another murder and Mr. Hunt was released and awarded almost two million dollars as compensation for the years they robbed him of. (Michigan Law, 2019) I feel that these advancements in DNA testing have made it so that it is easier to make sure that this type of mistake (committing an innocent individual) does not happen again.
