Systemic Bias: Confronting Racial Injustice and the Abuse of Process in the Legal System"
The abuse of process exacerbates racial injustice by manipulating legal procedures to achieve unjust outcomes. This can involve actions like wrongful arrests, coerced confessions, or the deliberate misapplication of laws to target specific racial groups. For example, racial profiling by law enforcement often leads to an overrepresentation of minorities in the criminal justice system, where they may face harsher penalties or be denied due process.
These practices not only violate the rights of individuals but also perpetuate systemic racism, reinforcing social and economic inequalities. Addressing racial injustice and the abuse of process requires comprehensive reforms, including the implementation of unbiased legal practices, increased accountability for law enforcement, and the promotion of equal access to justice for all, regardless of race. Only through these efforts can a truly equitable legal system be established.
