In your own words, what is the stock story regarding our justice system that we are exposed to in our everyday

impartial, our justice system does not see color, race, social class, gender, etc. Do you agree or disagree?
Use three concepts from Chapter 7 to support your case (for example, white privilege, racial profiling, broken
windows theory, differential association theory, differential labeling, general strain theory, prison-industrial
complex, etc)
