Cultural Diversity and Race in Criminal Justice
The notion of race seems to permeate almost every facet of American life. Certainly, one
of the more highly charged aspects of the race dialogue relates to crime. In the place of minority,
which some believe is a term of oppression or a term that seeks to minimize the collective
aspirations of a group, the term people of color has been suggested. Whatever the term to be
used, if current estimates are correct, it is clear that one day racial and ethnic groups now
considered to be minorities will become nearly half the United states population. Despite not
being able to fully assimilate, Asian Americans have been labeled the model minority because
of their success in education. Some see their success as proof that all groups can succeed if they
put
their best foot forward. Others see this label as problematic (Wu, 2002), noting that all Asians
are not equally successful. A prejudiced person may not act on their attitude. Therefore,
someone can be prejudiced towards a certain group but not discriminate against them. In
addition, prejudice includes all three components of an attitude (affective, behavioral and
cognitive), whereas discrimination just involves behavior. Implicit bias, which refers to the
attitudes or stereotypes that, can influence our understanding, actions, and decisions in an
unconscious manner. These biases can be both favorable and unfavorable. An understanding of
the nuance of other cultures, the perception that law enforcement officers share, or at least
understand some of the same experiences as those from other cultures, and the understanding
that other cultures and races are welcome in law enforcement are paramount to building public
trust. In 2014, two FBI agents fatally shot a 34-year-old man suspected of being a drug dealer
