“A” WORK DISCUSSION

Labeling has been a form of identification, within our social system, some of which can have adverse tones. Examples include the cognitive application of stereotypes associated with people who may have experienced economic and social adaptation challenges, differences in culture, religion and race, along with persons who have been adjudicated as having committed a criminal offense

1) How has the concept of labeling within the criminal justice system affected you, either personally or professionally? 

2) Based on our course readings and the review of theoretical explanations, please share your thoughts on how this labeling of persons has impacted the administration of criminal justice, from investigative practice to court processes?
