This week, I’d like you to reflect upon the following questions:
1. How does the legacy and ongoing impact of racism and poverty in the United States impact current policing and punishment practices?
2. How are the demands of the Black Panther Party in the 60’s and 70’s
similar to and different from those of #BlackLivesMatter. and the Movement for Black Lives today?
3.Why was Fred Hampton and the Black Panther Party so feared by the FBI that they resorted to assassinating him?
4.Why are these protest movements important and how might we get beyond the “cycle” of police violence and community rebellion which continues to occur?
you will write a reflection of AT LEAST 450 words and post this to the
discussion
To help guide your thinking in the right direction, some potential ideas for general reflection include:
• What did you find interesting or surprising about the reading? Did anything please or upset you for
any reason? If you believe that controversial arguments were made, how do you feel about them?
• Was there anything that you feel you didn’t understand well? Were there certain arguments or ideas
that you are unclear about or feel needed to be expanded upon?
• Did you agree/disagree with anything? Are the conclusions or claims made by the author(s)
convincing? Why or why not? Did the author(s) present his/her ideas fairly or in a biased manner?
• What issues do the author(s) neglect to consider? What assumptions might they be taking for
granted?
• What should and/or could be done as a result of the argument or information in the article/chapter?
How could you, policy makers, criminal justice professionals, activists, or any members of society
use this information? How should people not use this argument or information?
You must write your reflection in a
scholarly manner and demonstrate that you have read, understood, and thoughtfully considered ALL of
the assigned material. This must entail direct references, quotes, and citations to particular portions of the
reading(s) – with page numbers included to make it easier for your peers and professor to address your
thoughts.
