I love help the youth and minorities so volunteer work is my favorite extracurricular activity more than 53,000 youth are tried as adults every year in the US. These are just a few facts when it comes to the criminal justice system. A lot of African-Americans aren’t able to get the justice they need because of opinionated people. Things like this for you can affect them in the near future can affect them getting jobs, getting houses, etc. When minors are criminalized at an early age a placement a long-term strain on courts, law-enforcement, correctional facilities and social services and every year hundreds and thousands of minors are arrested for the most nonviolent offensives like theft, drug possession or disorderly conduct and in 2021 405,000 arrest were minors in for these offensive they have to serve time which affected their life, such as getting the proper education and being able to grow with their surrounding families. Cases like these heavily made me wanna work with the youth and minorities because they’re being treated unfairly in the criminal justice system, and I feel like if kids see another minority help them Maybe they’ll feel protected in a way. Growing up a big family I have always been surrounded by kids and different minorities such as African-Americans, Hispanics, Asians, etc. so it’s not just African-Americans I wanna help. I wanna help everyone, but I have noticed that minorities are the ones who don’t get as much help being black myself I have noticed a repetitive cycle of mistreated civilians and seeing this cycle has grown my love for wanting to be in the criminal justice system to be able to help those mistreated civilians. since 2020 I have been a part of three nonprofits that help youth individuals get out of their hardships and show them a better life so in a way I have been helping people but being a lawyer or a judge is my career goal to help those people even further. Being a part of these nonprofits have shown me that everybody doesn’t grow up the same and everybody has their own situation going on and seeing these things have grown my horizon on how everybody goes through different things and has made me more understanding as a person. So that is one change that I would like to see in the criminal justice system, and I will wanna be a part of that change.

In California ages 12 to 24 are most likely to be stopped and searched for guns and drugs. in 2017-2018 school year black students made up 15% of the enrollment but 31% of arrests a lot of schools policies, push students into the justice system instead of offering help or counseling to better them. more than 53,000 youth are tried as adults every year in the US.
