CORRECTIONS APPLICANTS 2 Corrections Applicants What types of questions would you ask corrections applicants during the interview phase to determine if they possessed racist or bigoted ideologies? Please be specific about the questions, the rationale, and also the outcomes. How or why would you choose such questions, and what academic support is available for the line of inquiry? Some of the pertinent questions that I would ask corrections applicants to find out if they possess racist or bigoted ideologies are as follows: 1. Is there an incidence of a racist attack that you have experienced in your life? Is Yes, what was the form of the attack? What was your response? 2. How much do you think social media influences racial equality and inequality? 3. Would you be comfortable to patrol a neighborhood that is entirely black, Hispanic or white? 4. How would you treat criminal suspects that originate from different races and ethnic backgrounds? 5. Has it ever been an issue having a partner belonging to another race? 6. What would be your reaction if you heard another officer making a racist or bigoted remark towards a suspect or a colleague?

CORRECTIONS APPLICANTS 3 The rationale for asking these questions is to understand the beliefs and attitude that the applicants have towards racial affiliation. An applicant’s experience in racial attacks and their reaction is adequate evidence to conclude if they are racist or not. Confidence to professionally patrol an area replete with black, white or Hispanic folks only demonstrates the applicant’s conviction that all races are equal (Pollock, 2014). The choice of partner based on racial background is an indication of a racist applicant. The answers to the specified questions reveal the behavioral traits that the applicants have towards racial equality or inequality (Pollock, 2014). The outcomes of the questions are the focal point of argument to ascertain if an applicant is racist or not. The questions evoke the emotions and attitude that an applicant has towards people. Choosing these questions signifies the importance of understanding an applicant’s stand on race before recruitment. The academic support for this line of inquiry is on the racial equality that the criminal justice system aims advocates for to eliminate racism for a better society (Pollock, 2014). No professional in the system is allowed to discriminate their colleagues, suspects, convicts and prison inmates based on racial differences (Bierschbach, 2020). It is unconstitutional and infringement on fundamental human rights because all human beings are equal.
