Ghana has a specialized Women and Juvenile Unit that investigates cases
Discussion 1 Make sure you answer all of the questions:
1. Ghana has a specialized Women and Juvenile Unit that investigates cases involving women, children, and juveniles. Do you believe such a specialized unit is an appropriate way to organize a police force? What social, cultural, or economic factors existing in a country may encourage you to take a different perspective?
2. Is police misconduct indicative of something about the people choosing police work (in all countries), the result of doing police work overtime (regardless of country), or maybe the management tactics typically used (again, around the world) by supervisors?
Discussion 2
Read the two Supreme Court opinions involving a reverse discrimination claim by the petitioner in Fisher v. University of Texas. Then, focus on the 2016 opinion, in which the Court upheld the University of Texas’s affirmative action program to admit minorities over similarly or more qualified white applicants.
- If your last name begins with P-Z, summarize and critique Justice Thomas’s dissenting opinion.
In your critique, please address these questions:
- Did the Court, by virtue of this decision, legalize reverse discrimination?
- How can the Court’s decision be reconciled with the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment?
- Ethically, is reverse discrimination acceptable if its practice thereby diffuses social unrest?
Is reverse discrimination an ethically acceptable practice if its effect is to curb existing discrimination?
