The main pillar of democracy across the globe and in the United States of America to be specific is seen when lawbreakers regardless of gender, race or ethnicity are apprehended and punished without any favoritism. As a matter of fact, for this system of justice to remain viable and effective then, the general public should be satisfied with every stage from the time the investigation over the crime at hand is conducted by the police officers or by the individuals who are responsible up to the time when the jury gives their final verdict. Indeed the rule of law demands that all individuals are treated alike regardless of race, gender, and ethnicity because the constitution of the United States of America guarantees all citizens equal treatment (Barak et.al, 2007).

As opposed to the ideal system as per the constitution, our present day criminal justice system is totally astray and it is characterized by differential and inequitable between different races and ethnic groups especially in the policing courts and corrections. Unequal treatment different minorities between different minorities at each stage for example, the blacks, Hispanic Americans, and other minority groups are victimized by the other police and other officials in the front line of the law enforcement. In addition to this, the prosecutors engage in discriminatory sentencing practices and in addition to this judges and other criminal officials have totally failed to address racial and ethnic inequalities in the entire criminal system in the United States of America.

For obvious differential and the unequal treatment encountered by different racial and ethnic groups in the policing courts and corrections has affected both the guilty minority and innocent citizens and it is manifested in the mushrooming prison population who are overwhelmingly the black and the Hispanic Americans. It is quite evident that there is a widely held belief that the blacks and the Hispanic Americans engage in criminal activities as opposed to the minority white population.

It is quite evident that, our society has changed totally and there are a number of contemporary issues in cultural diversity, crime and the administration of justice. In terms of cultural diversity, the issue of gender, race, and class in matters of criminal activities and administration of justice has taken a new course and different inquiries are interested in these variables because our society is an amalgam of different races and ethnic groups. In addition to this, the entire world has been revolutionized by technology and criminals have devised new ways of engaging in criminal activities and this has forced the administrators of justice to come up with new ways of handling or administering justice in the United States of America for example, they make use of video conferencing.

The history of race, ethnicity, and social class in the United States of America Criminal justice system has been about the imagined differences between non-criminals and criminals in the society. For quite a very long period of time, the white race has been treated different as compared to other races and ethnicity and this practiced has continued up to date. An examination on the criminal system shows that the blacks and the Hispanic Americans are overrepresented in most of the prisons as compared to the population of the white. Most of the individuals have been having the notion that the blacks and the Hispanic Americans engage themselves in the criminal activities (Anderson. Et.al, 2007).

A theoretical perspective has been used by professionals to explain cultural diversity and criminal justice. Some of the theoretical perspectives includes: post-Marxism, post-feminism, and post-affirmative actions among others. These theoretical perspectives explain gender, race, and class among other variables which are thought to be the main causes of criminal activities. Criminal studies shows that, the above mentioned theoretical perspectives are rich in information that is used to explain the differences in the percentage of criminal activities between different cultures as well as the application of different justice by the responsible authorities.
