The US criminal justice system is intended to provide due process rights to individuals arrested, charged, convicted, or punished for a crime. However, culturally diverse individuals are sometimes vulnerable to miscarriages of justice due to racial and ethnic discrimination. In this assessment, you will examine contemporary issues related to racial and ethnic disparities in the criminal justice system.
This summative assessment has 2 deliverables:

Part 1: 1- to 2-page matrix
Part 2: 45- to 90-word summary
Audience: Using the prompts in Parts 1 and 2, develop your matrix and summary deliverables from the perspective of a criminal justice professional who has been asked to deliver a lunch-and-learn presentation to interns in your department. The matrix and summary will be used in the presentation to raise awareness about these issues.

Susan is a seven year old child in the second grade. She comes from a poor family and her single mom, Betty, tends to work up to 60 hours per week which requires Susan to spend time with lots of different babysitters. Betty has few friends and even fewer social resources. At school, Susan’s teacher noticed that Susan appeared to be in pain and that she was crying for no apparent reason. Her teacher asked Susan if she was okay and if she had hurt herself somehow. Susan stated that her “private parts were sore” and that her mommy’s friend told her “not to tell anyone what happened or mommy would be in trouble”. Shocked by the child’s disclosure, the teacher immediately contacted the school nurse and the state child protection agency.  
Questions:
If Betty knew that Susan was being abused but Betty did not actually participate in the abuse, would there be any legal consequences for Betty? What if Betty did not know of the abuse, would there be any legal consequences for her? How does one prove what a person “knows or should have known”?
2. What is the role of a “Child Protection Team” (CPT) as set forth in Chapter 39 of the Florida Statutes and how could CPT assist Susan and her Mom if in fact her mom had no culpable role in the abuse? What would ‘reasonable efforts” be for this family?
3. Why is child sexual abuse so difficult to identify and prosecute?

In your role as a criminal justice professional, you may need to participate in courtroom proceedings. Having a clear understanding of racial and ethnic issues that can occur in the courts will help you identify common disparities and biases that may impede justice.

Write a 525- to 700-word summary in which you identify racial and ethnic issues related to sentencing in a high-profile criminal trial.
Audience: Develop your assignment from the perspective of a criminal justice professional who is part of a coalition comprised of criminal justice professionals, community members, and criminal justice advocates interested in advocating for change in criminal justice. You have been asked to research and explain your findings on sentencing disparities in the court system. You will use your summary as your guide when speaking at the next coalition meeting.
Include the following in your summary:
Summarize the case. What were the criminal charges against the defendant? Consider these guiding questions:
What were some key pieces of evidence presented in the trial?
What were some of the legal arguments presented by the prosecution and defense teams?
What was the verdict and what sentence did the judge give the defendant?
Identify some issues with the case related to racial or ethnic disparity/disparities. Consider these guiding questions:
If the defendant was a person of color, how were they treated unfairly in sentencing?
If the defendant was not a person of color, how might the sentence they received highlight the unfair sentencing of individuals from diverse backgrounds?
What systemic issues in criminal justice may have contributed to the disparity/disparities?
What role might the judge, prosecutor, or defense attorney have played in contributing to the disparity/disparities?
Review the sentencing strategies presented in Ch. 6, “Sentencing” of Race and Crime. Explain which sentencing strategy you believe is the most effective in reducing disparity for individuals of diverse backgrounds. Justify your response.
Cite at least 2 scholarly sources in addition to your textbook, according to APA guidelines.
