Social Conflict Theory Paper

To explain the theory of this article I will use the theoretical perspective of conflict. In this article it gives details about the racial and ethnics of injustice. The theory of this article is to let the reader know that society is not fair. If the White respondents of this article would come to the same agreement of the Hispanics and African Americans about injustice, then the crime and experiences would be excluding in the world that we live in today. However, in the article, it also explains that the Hispanics that have had contact with previous negative encounters of criminal justice will distinguish more of the injustice than African Americans with almost the same type of prior criminal justice.
While using the social conflict theoretical
Besides the Hispanics being the minority, it comes to the indication that their perception and construction to explore justice and injustice ways of living is impossible. Some interactions of injustice issues are being emerged to the Hispanics using “illegal immigration, border control, and border safety, especially along the United States and Mexico border” (Journal of Criminal Justice 36, 2008). The Hispanic organizations were protesting against the restrictions of the justice system and the federal legislative system, with the protest being opposed in cities worldwide, if passed then penalties for illegal immigrants would be classified for illegal immigration. In order to control illegal immigration, the government needs to have more border control and/or security to increase the attention to businesses that may want to employ illegal immigrants. I feel that this assumption is compatible to the conflict theory because the privileges of Hispanics are exploited from the Whites and the African Americans. This theory helped release the human capacities by perplexing the power to keep the burden of other groups
The divisions of each race, the African Americans and Hispanics have separated themselves from each other by living in low poverty areas which cause both races to be intact with more illegal crimes. While living in these types of environment, both Hispanics and African Americans are forced to purchase things less expensive than the Whites. Since the disadvantages of each race are less likely for Whites, this causes them have a personal contact with more federal agents, such as the police. “Comparative conflict theory further argued that the “frame of reference” used by African Americans and Hispanics is one of social and economic disadvantage, whereas Whites view the behavior of the criminal justice system from more of a race-neutral perspective” (Journal of Criminal Justice 36, 2008). The injustice that is perceived by Whites of African Americans and Hispanics were ruled to have come at an early age through the public of which they grew up, and being able to stay interacted with agents. These conflicting results are in suggestion to the conflict theory and why I chose this theoretical
