The Critical Race Theory: Examination of Minority Involvement in the C

The Critical escape Theory Examination of Minority function in the Canadian Criminal Justice SystemThe Canadian universe can be characterized as a multicultural and diverse constitution of individuals. There is little doubt that certain minority groups posses a lifestyle and pattern of behavior inviting conflict or confrontation with the jurisprudence (Fleras & Elliot, 1996). In light of this confrontation, an increase can be seen in the number of saturnine individuals killed in comparison to Caucasian individuals by Canadian police ships officers. Specifically, in 1996 the Black Action Defence Committee of Toronto noted that there were more than than shootings of Black civilians in Toronto than in some larger American cities such(prenominal) as Los Angles (Aylward, A.C. 1999). The Critical Race Theory, employed in the R.D.S case, allows Professor Glasbeek to make up a history of poor relations between the police and minorities in Nova Scotia, and also across Canada. In v cited cases, the Glasbeek article demonstrates that the criminal justice system is uniform in condoning the use of force by police officers. Further, in the unconstipatedt that a white male officer commits manslaughter art object on duty, acquittal is likely without further appeal in intimately all Canadian runnings . In many cases, a jury go out be selected and will consist of all Caucasian members. This is not relative to the number of minority members of any given community, town or city. Specifically, five cases are cited to show that after a white police officer shoots an individual criminal charges are generally dismissed. However, the fact remains that gross minorities are likely to be shot more often, and to be killed more often by white police officers. Further, at each trial no jury memb... ...mination and racism have decreased in new years, in reality, many minority individuals are negatively effected by the actions of the police, and the miscarriages of justi ce carried out in the Canadian court system even today (Fleras & Elliot, 1996). Even though stringent guidelines are in countersink in the selection of juries for trial, it still remains that less minorities actually attend to on Canadian juries despite efforts to counterbalance this blatant inequality. The outcome of this dissymmetry is an even larger gap, or imbalance in dealing with police officers accused of and charged for killing unarmed civilians.
