I have labeled the readings with the page numbers for this reaction paper. I will also attach the grading rubric. This professor is very picky when it comes to APA format. Here are the questions for this reaction paper:
Use your knowledge to briefly critically analyze the relationship between income, social class, poverty, and social justice. Provide a specific example to support your analysis.
You may use an example from the CJS or examples from outside of CJS, as long as it relates to social justice and is factually accurate (grounded in theory and/or supported in data).
How does the quality of legal representation impact the fair and just treatment of individuals, particularly those who cannot afford adequate legal representation? Discuss one or two specific cases or examples that highlight the disparities in legal representation.
In your opinion, what are the ethical and social justice implications of providing insufficient legal representation to indigent individuals and/or instances of (arguable) cruel and unusual punishment? How does this affect the overall integrity of the criminal justice system?
Reflect on your personal opinion on what potential reforms or interventions could be implemented to improve legal representation for indigent individuals and/or prevent instances of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide specific examples or context.
