Ep 259: Reconsidered: 19 - Race & Crime in America
Original Airdate: 06/09/20
As the country faces a crisis in race and justice, the cases we discuss today have helped bring our attention to some of the most significant injustices and important issues, but do we know the whole story and even when we do, what can we do about it? In today's episode, we use the stories of females to explore both the problems and some of the possible solutions to racism in our criminal justice system.
Women & Crime: Reconsidered is where we revisit our episode catalog and bring new insights, behind the scenes or updates.
