Write an essay on Deep disparities in American policing represent a profound moral crisis that has spurred growing criticism of law enforcement in recent years. FBI data indicates that Black Americans accounted for 31% of police killing victims in 2012, despite making up just 13% of the US population. A 2015 analysis found that racialized minorities made up 37.4% of the general population yet comprised 62.7% of unarmed people killed by police. A 2015 study by The Guardian found that Black males between the ages of 15-34 were nine times more likely than other Americans to be killed by police. These disparities in use of deadly force reflect more widespread racial inequalities across the entire American criminal justice system. For instance, Black inmates make up a disproportionate amount of the prison population, and are more than twice as likely to be arrested on drug charges, even though studies have shown that rates of both drug use and drug dealing are roughly equivalent in white and Black communities.Meanwhile, since the 1980s, public spending on law enforcement and the criminal legal system has dramatically outpaced spending on institutions and services, such as education, housing, community healthcare, recreational spaces, small business support, and violence prevention programs that promote stable, safe, and healthy communities. Most police departments currently handle everything from violent crimes to traffic violations, domestic disputes to safety details, mental health emergencies to school security, and more. Additionally, police budgets have expanded as acquisition of military grade weapons and equipment has become common.In light of this, a growing number of municipalities have begun to reallocate budgetary resources from their police departments to other sectors of government, while also redefining institutional roles. Restructuring institutional roles and funding involves reassigning many tasks currently performed by police to other, more qualified professionals, such as medics, social workers, counselors, and the like, while also investing budgetary funds to support corresponding policies, programs, and initiatives such as improved educational resources; expansion of health and human services programs and job training; providing more and better trained school counselors; adding community recreational centers and clinics, and so on, explain whether or not this approach to addressing racial disparities in American policing is consistent with Dewey’s moral theory, referring to specific features of his theory and providing textual support for your argument. Note: you are not being asked to provide political arguments or views, nor are you being asked to speculate on the efficacy of these measures, and you should carefully avoid both. Your task is simply to explain whether or not these measures can be understood as part of a Deweyan moral response to the problem of racial disparities in American Policing and why**** Essay Prompt and sources. Please make sure you use both those sources from dewey as well as using the gutenberg.org e-book edition of Human Nature and Conduct linked in the essay prompt, the reference in your works cited must conform to the guidelines for e-books in files.
