Sterotype People in Criminal Justice

I believe stereotyping individual in the criminal justice system has been changing more and more every day. Some theories and strategies to avoid stereotyping individuals in the criminal justice system will start by the criminal justice system itself.

For example ex-felons are known to act or have a bad behavior just because they were in jail or served time. Not knowing this people are just being stereotyping they continue to do the same. Even though they go through different classes or programs to try to fit better into the community many people still have the same idea about them. This most likely be the labeling theory, because it argues that the criminal justice system is limited in its capacity to restrain unlawful conduct but also is a major factor in anchoring people into criminal careers. The cultural deviance theory explains the causes of criminal behavior in urban areas are not about the poverty suffered in those areas but the product of a distinct lower-class culture whose focal concern is deviance against the norms of society. According to labeling theory, it is said that many efforts to control crime and help it remain in the lowest percentage not really helps it just makes it worse. For example, as I said in the beginning individuals who are arrested, prosecuted, and punished are labeled as criminals. Others then view and treat these people as criminals, and this increases the likelihood of subsequent crime for several reasons. Labeled individuals may have trouble obtaining legitimate employment, which increases their way of acting and will likely go back to the things they used to do. Labeled individuals may find that conventional people are reluctant to associate with them, and they may associate with other criminals as a result. This reduces their bond with conventional others...
