Students will design an infographic as their final project for the semester. The infographic should be centered on one of the main parts of the criminal justice system that we discussed in class (i.e., juvenile justice, policing, courts, corrections). This final project will relate to your writing prompts in that you want to use these graphics to dispel commonly shared mis- and dis-information you have seen on social media and throughout the news about racial/ethnic injustice/justice and equity as it relates to that area of the criminal justice system.
