During the quarter, you should keep a typed or handwritten journal reflecting on the readings assigned below that touch on, in some aspect, the relationship between race and the criminal justice system. Excellent journal entries will include critical reflections about the topic with a specific emphasis on the statistics and data presented in the piece.
Examples of questions you might reflect on about the statistics and data could include (but are not limited to):
Question 1: Where did the data come from and is it a reliable source?
Question 2: Are the statistics presented in a way that support the author's story?
Question 3: What questions do you have about the data and the statistics?
Question 4: Does the author appear to present information that adequately tells the entire story, not just a piece of it?
Question 5: Is the author manipulating the data to tell a specific story? Why do you think that?
Question 6: What other statistics do you think the author should have presented?
