Minorities in the criminal justice system 2015, para. 90
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Members of a minority are less likely to engage with, or participate as actors within, criminal justice institutions as long as the members of that minority face active discrimination within the system, whether as accused, victims or witnesses. This being the case, non-minority officials and representatives must also act on their own initiative to address discrimination in the administration of justice, and to transform negative feedback cycles of distrust into positive feedback cycles of progress.
