Criminal justice maintains order in ways systematically biased toward inequality

Evidence

To be clear, however, we are not suggesting that the maintenance of group-based social hierarchy is the only function of the CJS, for it is clearly in the general interest that a modicum of social order be maintained. We are suggesting that this social order will be systematically biased in favor of the maintenance of group-based inequality. — Joseph Avery, Jim Sidanius, Joel Cooper, Gregory Davis, Amanda N., Bias in the Law, 58
