Ep. 28 Is the criminal justice system truly just? Race and Ethnicity within Criminal Justice with Marisa Omori
Description
If you're a first time listener, welcome! If you're not, welcome back! In this episode we speak with Marisa Omori, an assistant professor in the Criminology and Criminal Justice Department of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. This episode covers several important areas about America's criminal justice system but specifically the judicial experience. We open up the episode discussing race and ethnicity within the criminal justice system broadly. Then we narrow it down to the judicial aspect of the system. We close it out by discussing one of Marisa's recent papers studying whether race and ethnicity are factors in differential treatment in the court system. Is America's CJS truly color blind? Are the courts and its actors truly neutral? Listen and find out!
