  1. I actually went back and skimmed this article. It was very interesting especially since I am also writing about something that is related to this subject. While researching my subject, it's amazing the history that is related in race and crime but I also found that it's vice versa, discrimination on law enforcement.

  2. I find your topic really interesting! My last essay (Project 1) was also about racial disparities. I like how you used "discrimination" as one of your keywords. I think you should use a couple more keywords! GOOD JOB!
