Gender, Ethnicity, and Culture
Write a 2- to 3-page paper (excluding title page) that responds to the following:
According to the United States Census Bureau, the population in the United States is growing more and more diverse each decade. While
increasing differences adds a beautiful richness to society, it also challenges the ability to effectively serve the community’s needs. For this
assignment, you will analyze and explore the intersectionality of gender, race, ethnicity, and culture using scholarly sources and the Unit 5 and Unit 6
readings. You will consider how gender, ethnicity, and culture among Latino(a)/Latinx Americans and Asian/Pacific Islander Americans impact
interactions with public safety officials.
Using scholarly sources and the readings from Units 5 and 6 define the pervasive influence of gender, ethnicity, and culture and how it impacts
public safety/criminal justice interactions.
How does culture influence Latino(a)/Latinx Americans to interact with public safety/criminal justice officials? Why are some Latino(a)/Latinx
Americans fearful of reporting to the police when they have been the victim of a crime?
How does culture influence how Asian/Pacific Islander Americans interact with public safety/criminal justice officials? What verbal and nonverbal
communication characteristics should public safety/criminal justice officials consider when interacting with Asians/Pacific Islanders, particularly
those with limited English proficiency?
What are some unique experiences that Latino(a)/Latinx or Asian/Pacific Islander women encounter that bring them into contact with public
safety officials? How has their cultural background influenced these interactions? What steps can effectively respond to the needs of
Latino(a)/Latinx or Asian/Pacific Islander women who are victims of crime?
How do the personal experiences of public safety/criminal justice officials influence their workplace culture, specifically regarding
Latino(a)/Latinx and Asian/Pacific Islander coworkers?
