In recent years, a few academic reports have pointed to pockets of
race-based inequality in our criminal justice system. But now, for the
first time, LCCR/LCEF is presenting the scope of the problem. Instead of
focusing on one area of inequality, for example racial profiling or
sentencing disparities, "Justice on Trial: Racial Disparities in the
American Criminal Justice System," takes a broad look at how our criminal
justice system treats minorities. The results are stark for not only
African Americans, but for Latinos, Asian Americans and Native Americans as
well.

If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves, I could have
freed thousands more.  -- Harriet Tubman
