Abstract

The intent of this project is to examine explicit and implicit biases within the United States law enforcement and justice systems and how they can be impacted by race. It shows differences in all aspects of life, including birth, socio-economic statuses, education, adulthood and death. Specifically, it will review data about government spending per state’s education spending, as well as police violence and differences in treatment for similar crimes.
