The purpose of the Criminal Justice Committee is to eliminate the disparate treatment of blacks in all aspects of law enforcement and the criminal justice systems by:
Identifying and monitoring practices and policies which lead to unscientific use of race and ethnicity in police and investigative actions;
Ensuring that juveniles are appropriately protected and rehabilitated;
Ensuring that incarcerated and released felons have access to appropriate voting, education, job training and civic participation resources;
Ensuring that government and states place moratorium on utilization of capital punishment until race and ethnicity is no longer statistically significant in predicting sentencing and execution.
