Sales, Bruce, ed. The criminal justice system. Vol. 1. Springer Science & Business Media, 2013.

In this book, the author provides a clear insight on how lawyers and psychologists are now

becoming more aware of the overall human behavior with respect to the law. The concepts

identified in this book are significant in identifying how human behavior can be controlled, with

appropriate application of the law. The information brought forth in this particular book, will

play an integral role in identify some of the psychological aspects that apply in applying justice

in communities that have different characteristics. As a result of this, it will be possible to

understand why police officers among other law enforcement agencies behave differently when

relating with minority groups in the United States. This author provides a consistent review of

administration of justice from a psychologists perspective, with regards to human behavior.

Berman, Greg, and John Feinblatt. Good courts: The case for problem-solving justice. Vol. 8.

Quid Pro Books, 2015.

This book reflects upon the general confidence of the American criminal courts and notes that it

is at its all time low. There is a strong emphasis in this book that communities, victims and
 Surname 2

offenders actually perceive the court system as being inadequate. The information provided in

this article will help me identify and relate in my paper some of the underlying issues that make

people lack confidence in the criminal justice system. With regards to this, it will be possible to

emphasize on the significance of having problem solving courts. All in all, the information

provided in this book will play an important role in helping me define some of the fundamental

issues that make the court system ineffective.

Loughlin, Martin, and Samuel Tschorne. Public law. Routledge, 2016.

The authors of this book extensively discuss fundamental issues related to the law and its

application entirely. Different elements of the law are discussed in this book, hence giving the

reader an opportunity to understand the general application of the law and its underlying

principles. The information derived from this book, will enable me to evaluate the general use of

the law, with respect to the underlying concepts that relate to application in my paper. This will

play an integral role knowing how the law should be applied based on unique circumstances that

citizens face. The author gives a number of theories that are applied in law, which can also be

used.

Marable, Manning. How capitalism underdeveloped Black America: Problems in race, political

economy, and society. Haymarket Books, 2015.

This particular book extensively discusses how concepts such as race, politics, economy and

society are used against the black minorities. The concepts identified in this book play an integral

role in explaining how racial injustice comes into play when police among other law

enforcement agencies encounter black people. The information from this book will be useful in

explaining how justice is often not considered to all citizens. It is based upon the information
 Surname 3

derived from this particular book that it will be possible to clearly define political and racial

issues influence the application of law and the general resistance towards the police by minority

groups which are being oppressed. The author emphasizes on the problems associated with

unequal application of justice, which can also be used.

Shjarback, John A., et al. "De-policing and crime in the wake of Ferguson: Racialized changes in

the quantity and quality of policing among Missouri police departments." Journal of Criminal

Justice 50 (2017): 42-52.

This article offers a study on how the police departments have participated in de-policing as a

result of the unpredictable levels of negative attention, in relation to charges against police

behavior. This article points out that the negative attention and increased scrutiny of the law has

played an important role in changing police behavior. It is through an effective data analysis that

the authors have managed to present their findings on the issue. This makes the information

credible and reliable, hence can be used as evidence in explaining why some issues related

administration of justice and cases police brutality need to be reviewed. The authors have

managed to emphasize on equal application of the law, a concept that will consistently be

applied.

Mann, Coramae Richey. Unequal justice: A question of color. Vol. 783. Indiana University

Press, 1993.

This book will give more details on issues related on racism as a component of law and also as a

social control system. The authors in this case, have managed to challenge the basic theories that

have traditionally been put in place to explain the relationship between criminality and race, and

race and the criminal justice systems decision. This will give the paper an extensive review of
 Surname 4

the fundamental aspects affecting the administration of justice especially when the aspect of race

is introduced to the topic. In consideration of this, it will be possible to establish a clear

perspective from which it will be achievable to stress why and how discrimination based on skin

color can be countered.

Neubauer, David W., and Henry F. Fradella. America's courts and the criminal justice system.

Cengage Learning, 2015.

The authors of this book offer a comprehensive explanation of the criminal justice system and

the courts in a manner that clearly explains some of the basic factors that ought to be emphasized

in the administration of justice. It is through a consistent review of this book that one is able to

identify how the court system works with respect to the criminal justice system. With this in

mind, the concepts identified in this case will be applied in explaining how some of the

fundamental issues revolving around racial inequality in the administration of justice. In this

case, it will be possible to explain how and why inequality comes into play.

Burch, Traci. "Skin Color and the Criminal Justice System: Beyond BlackWhite Disparities in

Sentencing." Journal of Empirical Legal Studies 12.3 (2015): 395-420.

This particular article focuses on evaluating sentencing outcomes for white and black males in

Georgia. In this article, the authors present data related to offenders from both racial groups. In

this case it is realized that black offenders receive higher levels of sentencing compared to the

White. The information presented in this article will be used as evidence to explain how the

members of the black community are often victimized when it comes to the administration of

justice. With regards to this, it will be possible to actually define the underlying concepts behind
 Surname 5

racial prejudice and how the disparity in justice administration can be countered. This

information will be a good source in explaining how justice is at times not administered fairly.

Reiman, Jeffrey, and Paul Leighton. The rich get richer and the poor get prison: Ideology, class,

and criminal justice. Routledge, 2015.

This book has effectively illustrated the concept of economic discrimination that exists in the

American justice system. The authors of introduce the ideology that the criminal justice system

is biased towards broke people. It is argued that even before the arrests, trial and sentencing,

poor people are often discriminated against. This information will consistently be used as

evidence of why there should be a consistent follow up on how justice is administered in the

criminal justice system. With a clear review on the issue, it is possible to identify some of the

basic ways in which the entire process revolving around justice administration in the criminal

justice system can actually be fair to all citizens despite of their social economic status or race.

This information will therefore be important in validating the discrepancy against the credibility

of the criminal justice system.

Fader, Jamie J., Megan C. Kurlychek, and Kirstin A. Morgan. "The color of juvenile justice:

Racial disparities in dispositional decisions." Social Science Research 44 (2014): 126-140.

This article illustrates how youth of color are most likely to be dedicated to physical routine

facilities. The information from this article will provide a clear overview of the general racial

disparities in dispositional decision in the criminal justice system. With a clear evaluation of the

concepts introduced in this article, it will be possible to identify some intervention modalities

that can be used in the entire decision making process revolving around color based biases. With
 Surname 6

this in mind, it will be possible to define how exactly the entire justice system tends to factor into

racial inequality in administration of Justice.
