The discussion notes that people from racial minorities are more likely than white people to be arrested, charged, convicted, and imprisoned and that widespread concerns exist about detention and bail conditions, stop and search, the police response to racial harassment complaints, deaths in custody, and police tactics in drug raids and other situations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of considering both direct and indirect racial discrimination and of viewing the criminal justice and correctional systems as a whole rather than in terms of particular stages and processes. The analysis concludes that the contribution of research on race and criminal justice to policymaking and the delivery of racial justice has so far been fairly limited. It also notes that the criminal justice system must continue to develop policies to increase the recruitment of black personnel, ensure that all staff have appropriate training, and provide thorough monitoring.
