Understanding Motivational Career Choices of African American Criminal Justice Students
Although research on the negative relationship between African Americans and the criminal justice system has been well documented over the past two decades, researchers have inadequately addressed why African Americans choose a career in the criminal justice field despite this negativity. This phenomenological study was designed to explore the motivations guiding career choice of African American college students enrolled in 2-year and 4-year criminal justice programs. Five males and one female, all within one year of graduating from their program and entering the field, participated. In one-on-one interviews the students responded to a series of 12 semistructured, open-ended questions encompassing their lived experiences with racism and discrimination, identifying the influences for career choice, personal perspectives of the criminal justice system, and expectant career goals. Data analysis revealed four themes: living with racism, career choice influences, racism in criminal justice, and cultural education leads to change based on student responses, specifically with each of the study’s participants unexpectedly reporting to having negative experiences with the criminal justice system as their primary career choice motivation. Critical race and symbolic interactionism theories provided a framework in understanding how these six students’ perceptions of their ethnic identities and lived experiences with racism and discrimination impacted their career choices. Future extensive, qualitative research on the criminal justice career choice made by African American college students will provide a clearer understanding for educators and administrators. This may also provide the foundation for meaningful changes being made in the criminal justice system with regards to cultural sensitivity.

Police abuse is the purposeful practice of unwarranted coercion, frequently physical, but potentially in the form of verbal assaults and psychological intimidation, by police which, constitutes abuse and official misconduct. Police brutality is a grievous form of crime done by the police hired to be prevent the crime itself. The use of force may be judged necessary or excessive depending on whether it was determined to be legitimate under the circumstances to fulfill the police duty (Kania & Mackey, 1977). The media has focused like a laser on the racial divides in the U. S. sparked by the deaths of young African Americans (i.e., Michael Brown in Fergusson, Missouri, Eric Garner, NYC, Oscar Grant in California and Sandra Bland in Texas and many others at the hands of cops with dubious use of force. (Edwards, 2016; Khaleeli, 2016). These deaths lead ultimately to an activists group, ‘Black Lives Matters’. According to FBI statistics, African-Americans represented 31 percent of all shooting victims by police while representing 13 percent of all U. S, inhabitants according to Grochowski & Gabrielson (2014, October 10). Approximately 50 percent of the 14,800 police agencies do not report police involved homicide statistics to the FBI - UCR. This is quite distributing considering that 175 Black males were shot and killed by police since January, 2015. Black’s males represent six percent of the population and 40 percent of victims of police shooting incidents.

School social work services in federally funded programs : an African American perspective
This book identifies the barriers between social work intervention in education and government-funded programs that impact African American students. The chapters approach these issues from a child-centered perspective, which has proven critical in developing positive and sustainable relationships with African American students. As children begin to understand more about their lives and the world around them, they also develop opinions that help them identify who they are as individuals and where they see themselves in the world. From a qualitative research methodology approach, trust has been identified as a fundamental factor and potential barrier among all variables acknowledged. Interviews with ten African American high school and college students were conducted to discuss their perspectives on education, family life, peer interaction, and social work intervention.
