What is the problem?
Disparities in charging and sentencing are not new. Communities of color, Black and Brown people, are often disproportionately represented in the incarcerated population and see charges and sentences more elevated when compared to their white peers.
What is the Solution?
States like California have introduced legislation, the Racial Justice Act (RJA), to address racial bias in the criminal legal system. The RJA is intended to challenge racist conduct against individuals in their arrest, criminal court proceedings, charges, or sentences.
