Some of the pointers are:

Measures to consider mitigating criminal justice problem-

-revise laws and policies to eliminate any racial impact they can have

- provide a more joined-up response for victims and witnesses from criminal justice

system partners

- making the police personnel accountable for any sort of discrimination

- making fair/ respectful treatment for victims a norm irrespective of the race, gender, etc.

- eliminate racial disparities in charging decisions

- providing sure right/suitable personnel deal with such cases - police officers, magistrates, or judges

-taking less time to resolve court cases during such matters to give the right message across in the society about not tolerating any such behaviour by any personnel or any layman transform summary justice so that cases take less time to resolve

Jurisdictions have been able to reduce racial disparities in confinement by documenting racial bias inherent in certain risk assessment instruments (RAI) used for criminal justice decision making

The strategies need to be adopted and followed in a bottom up approach so that every strata of service professional gets familiarized with them and understand the repercussions of not done
