This is important because it will help readers understand how implicit racism leads us to <em>assume <\/em>a conclusion without any real data to back up this assumption, and how implicit racism is still found in us today.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m very interested in page 6 of Hinton\u2019s introduction where she talks about how an increase in the <em>reporting <\/em>of crimes made it look like crimes were rising when they weren&#8217;t, and then this lead to wrong laws being written, all based on false data. I also think the FBI\u2019s role here is very interesting (could this be my more specific topic, the FBI\u2019s role in collecting data for the War on Crime?). I also want to talk about the McMillan case in Just Mercy where he\u2019s literally convicted based on no evidence. I don\u2019t fully understand how all of this factors into the public\u2019s view of mass incarceration and I want to learn more about that. I also know I need to find more sources connected to my specific topic.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Works cited:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Forman, James. \u201cHein Online.\u201d <em>\u201cRacial Critiques of Mass Incarceration: Beyond the New Jim Crow.,\u201d<\/em> Apr. 2012, heinonline.org\/HOL\/Page?collection=journals&amp;handle=hein.journals\/nylr87&amp;id=2154&amp;men_tab=srchresults.
