Racial Diversity And Racism

The focus of this paper is on lack of racial diversity and reverse racism in the workplace. My aim is to design a racial justice professional development program for the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), an agency that I was employed in as a juvenile probation parole specialist (probation officer). The mission and goals of this agency are to provide appropriate services to juveniles who have been placed on probation by juvenile court or are committed to the department. At-risk youths who have

Racism In Schools: Its causes and effects Racism no longer exists on official documents or statements, however it is still present. It lurks in the realm of dark humor and the mainstream media but it thrives nonetheless. Racism amongst school age children is at an all time high.

university but the stench of racism still looms at the well-known college. The racism displayed at this university is undeniable and very visible which in result scares away many diverse students.

The press and public have become so used to tales of murder, rape, robbery, and arson, that any but the most spectacular crimes are shrugged off as part of the inevitable texture of American life.
