Ex: "So she drew her mother away, skipping, dancing, and frisking fantastically, among hillocks of the dead people, like a creature that had nothing in common with a bygone and buried generation, nor owned herself akin to it." (Ch. 10) This is describing Pearl being full of energy skipping and doing other things in a cemetery. She is dancing all over the tombstones. Pearl does not care or realize that what she is…

Cultural and Structural Racism in the United States In 2010, white people made up about 64% of the population of the United States, African Americans about 13%, and Hispanic people about 16%. However, this doesn’t carry over to those incarcerated in U.S. prisons and jails. 39% of those incarcerated are white, an entire 40% are African American, and 19% are Hispanic.

blacks are portrayed as drug addicts and make up most of the conviction rate. Discretion has to contribute to this because discretion allows cops to decide whether or not to search a car and whether or not to frisk someone.

Stops and frisks are some of the strategies that law-enforcement agencies use to help prevent crime and also to protect the officers and the innocent people from the dangers that could be the outcome of those crimes. Well, this is what exactly happened one afternoon in Cleveland, Ohio on 1968. Martin McFadden who has been a “police detective for thirty nine years” observed two men who were “acting strangely out on the streets of downtown Cleveland” (Criminal Procedure et al).
