Course Outcome 4: Analyze the impact of social demographics within the criminal justice system. (Program Outcome 4)

Based upon your readings and any ancillary resources you research regarding decision-making, discuss the development and implementation of a policy in the criminal justice system that has been, or should be, introduced which is driven or impacted by social demographics and diversity in society. For example, a policy on dealing with gangs in a police department. Consider the following: Does evidence support paying special attention to Latinos, Blacks, Asians, Motorcycle gangs, etc.? If so, how would that influence the policy, the community, or stakeholders? How should an agency create a policy, while taking into account so many sociocultural factors, and not offend or bias a specific group?
