Lorraine Priest, Maryse Nazon, Frederick Lawrence, Kent Moser and Ray Philosophy of Punishment, Education and Cultural Conflict in Criminal Justice Lorraine Priest, Maryse Nazon, Frederick Lawrence, Kent Moser and Ray Bynum

1967 President’s Commission Well educated persons are less prejudiced toward minority groups than the poorly educated. should have a significant positive long term effect on community relations. Police personnel with two to four years of college should have a better appreciation of people with : different racial, economic and cultural backgrounds should have the innate ability to acquire such understanding. less bias, prejudice and excessive force

Minnesota Study Administrators were more concerned about skills the officers acquired during college: critical- thinking skills, oral and written communications, adequate research prior to taking action, ability to handle stress, successful group presentations, adequate introduction to world, ethnic and gender issues.   The accomplishment of a degree was seen as an effort by the individual, having little influence on the organization.

College Education fewer complaints about excessive use of force, disciplinary actions and other infractions (Wymer, 1996). increased flexibility in dealing with difficult situations, result in better interaction with diverse cultures, and better verbal and written communication skills (Varricchio, 1999) greater flexibility in accepting and implementing change (Wymer, 1996; Varricchio, 1999; Totzke, 2002). Education is seen as a means of improving the officer and criminal justice organization (Seiter, 2013). College degree does reduce the level of bias and prejudice in both law enforcement and corrections (Telep, 2011)

Wimhurst, K. & Ransley, J. (2007)

Philosophy of Punishment How a society decides to punish may vary depending on its culture. Many views of punishment can exist in a culture: “Eye for an Eye”—equal retribution for a wrong. “Just Desserts”—appropriate punishment to occur sometime in the future. This may include the offender being assaulted or killed while in jail/prison. “Lock the door and throw away the key”—a conservative view that sees the need to be “tough on crime.” “Rehab for everyone”—a liberal view that wants to reform the system to better address the needs of the offender and society. “The offender is also a victim”—a radical point of view which considers the offender as a victim, product of a bad environment. “the officer is the punishment” – the US Supreme court has ruled the “separation from society” is the punishment, not the officer or the system.   All of these beliefs currently exist in the criminal justice system and are often in conflict with each other.

Individual vs Offender Criminal justice personnel are taught to consider the inmate or suspect as “an offender” Meant to shift mind set to neutral Instead of neutral, it presents its own beliefs about this group. Seen as a form of institutional racism (Armacost,2016) Example; “Sarge, you don’t understand, this a black and white issue”. My response “ You don’t understand, this is a orange issue”

College Cultural Conflict Courses The 1967 President’s Commission felt a college degree would solve the cultural conflict in criminal justice. In the Minnesota study, police chiefs were concerned about the skills the officers developed. Neither emphasized the need for courses on cultural conflict. A study was conducted with 926 college criminal justice professors (members of the Academy of Criminal Justice Sciences). Seven professors completed the survey. A few commented: “one course on cultural diversity is not enough to change an organization” “while courses on cultural diversity are provided to current and future officers, it is not provided to the community”

College Cultural Conflict Courses A review of 30 US colleges and universities criminal justice programs was done to determine the amount of cultural diversity, conflict, ethics, decision making, etc. courses were being provided.
