Criminal Justice Is About the Laws Which

Criminal justice is about the laws which are related to criminal behaviour. Criminal justice includes the area where judiciary is involved for e.g., police and lawyers. Lawyers are directly associated with the crime because they can defend or prosecute the criminals. As a professional field of study criminal justice involves studying the behaviour. The aim of the study is to gain knowledge and awareness of rules, laws and rights of victims and suspect both.

In Criminal Justice ethics, diversity and conflict plays a major role. As a student of Criminal Justice I have learned that ethics is important in making moral judgments which demonstrates clearly that what is right and what is wrong. An ethical framework of justice is required to make fair decisions. When we talk about ethics in criminal justice here, we are suppose to forget about the emotions, personal values and instincts that can create or raise questions over a decision. Ethics in criminal justice study stimulates analyzing and questioning habits which are essential to make fair decisions. It also supports in analyzing the ethical consequences of decisions. In criminal justice ethics tells us how to manage and relate the policies regarding the major concerns of law and justice i.e., rehabilitation and punishment. (SagePub, 2011)

When we talk about diversity in criminal justice we are forced to emphasize over racial disparity. I have experienced that the sentencing section of the criminal justice system is largely influenced with race. Although in a common practice it ranges from traffic signals to death penalty only because of the race. United States has a history full of African-American racial representation, where the discrimination leads to conviction of crimes.

Culture diversity causes racial discrimination which can easily violate the laws and often it is related to sentencing. Subjects and professions like Criminal Justice indulge the cultural diversity and racial discrimination which is quite a shame. Racial disparity must be excluded from the Criminal Justice field. (Hazen, 2009)

Similarly, the Conflict in Criminal Justice emphasizes to make justice. It emphasizes over the social and economic forces which are present in a society. It is also known as System Conflict theory. This relates with the wages, promotion and success and invites the conflict with criminal justice system. A good example of conflict is prison and police officers; where police tries to put the criminal in jail while prison officials want to release prisoners due to lack or overcrowded facilities. (Skolnock, 2004)

The film CRASH is a combination of ethics, diversity and conflict in criminal justice. It is a story which have multiple characters each having a connection with criminal justice. A police detective who has a drug addict mother and a dishonest brother. There were two car thieves. Crash is about racial ribaldry which has stimulated intolerance. (Forbes, 2005)

Crash has targeted the American racial relations which is embedded with tension and sensation. The character of Graham who was a detective investigated a road accident and his partner Ria helped him. She started the racist dialogues with the Korean women.

In another scene two black men Anthony and Peter, have also used discriminated dialogues at Starbuck's color. So, the story went on different characters giving different perspectives to racial discrimination.
