In class Interview, Last one

Jocelyn Diaz

This wasn't recorded since my icati number had expired, but we had class and i had the conversation with the interviewee. We talked about if the criminal justice system is fair to all ethnic groups? The interviewee felt that the system isn't fair and usually is pinpointed to the minority groups; Mexican and African American being examples the interviewee felt. They also felt that officer abuse their power and sometimes use it in the wrong ways. They stated that on the news they saw, cops stopping individuals in New York, i believe, majority of African American and frisking them for no reason. They believe that ethnicity has to do a lot with how cops treat you and speak to you. They brought up the Ferguson case, which in their response they believe that it is unfair and injustice. They also, second guess themselves and said that sometimes the minority groups put themselves in those type of situations. They also mentioned it has to do with how you were brought up and education plays part into it. We agreed on some things, but overall, the interviewee believes the system is unfair.
