Diversity in criminal justice

 

 

 

The Supreme Court has repeatedly asserted that a defendant is not entitled to a jury “composed in whole or in part of persons of his own race”. Although these rulings establish that states are not obligated to use racially mix juries they do not prohibit states from doing so. In fact a number of policymakers and legal scholars have proposed reforms that use racial criteria to promote racial diversity on American juries. some have suggested that the name of majority race jurors have removed from the jury listed thus ensuring a larger proportion of racial minorities others have suggested that a certain number of seats on each jury be set aside for racial minorities
