2 What I know: For me personally, I have not dealt much with our justice system much if at all. Maybe get a parking citation or fix it ticket for a busted headlight once but other than that, I tend to try to keep to myself and stay out of trouble. But I have had a personal experience working in health care with a male African American coworker who most of our patients would refuse care from due to personal views and opinions. On the days that I worked with this specific person, the other staff and I knew that we would have to trade tasks through out the day to accommodate our patients. Breaking this experience down through the four lenses I can see that through the history and humanities lenses, most of these older patients were not comfortable having a male employee let alone an African American person in their room. They didn’t feel comfortable and had thoughts that this employee would steal their belongings or abuse them. Through the social science lens, one can see how the patients were responding to having a colored employee helping them and refused the assistance by asking for a different caretaker. Through the natural science lens, at the time I tried to study the patients’ reactions and try to find ways to make them more comfortable in the situation to allow my coworker to assist them. Reassuring them that my coworker was highly skilled and would not be an on staff if they were a thief. What I want to know: Knowing what I knew prior this assignment, I have some questions that I really would like to know: Why are incarceration rates so high compared to other countries? How much of the incarcerations are drug related? What happens to all the drugs, money, and other contraband that gets confiscated from a drug bust by the police? What type of affect do famous people have on our communities in relation to racism and discrimination? And finally, how can one be
3 confident in a defense attorney and their knowledge of forensic science to help them win their case? What I have learned: For the total amount of incarcerations between 1985 and 2000, most of the convictions were drug related with two thirds in the federal system whereas at the state level it was more than half (Alexander, 2011. Pg 11). Having such high rates of drug incarcerations made me wonder if there is an underlying motivational factor to making arrests with drug busts. According to the federal drug forfeiture laws, states and local law enforcement agencies are allowed to keep up to 80% of cash, cars, and homes seized from drug suspects. (Alexander 2011. Pg 18). With all the additional money coming in from those seizures, you would think that the police force would not only be motivated to get more drugs off the streets but also bring in extra cash to put towards special projects, additional training, and more staff. At least, that’s what I can see as an outsider. Although, how is one supposed to trust that their lawyer is doing everything that they can to defend them? From education conferences, polls showed that roughly 5% of lawyers and judges studies science (Epstein, 2016, p. 2 ). What are the odds that everyone would get lucky enough to have a defense counsel that it knowledgeable enough to prove their innocence? The way I see it, zero to none. That sure gives me a load of confidence if I were to ever find myself in a sticky situation. As far as famous singers and song writers, In today’s day and age, much of our population listen to a variety of music. Ranging from country to hip hop and R&B. I’ve seen it take less than 24 hours for a new song to be released and it have close to 1.5 million listens on any given streaming service or platform. Following George Floyds murder back in 2020, there
