Abstract

In this article, I argue that criminology and criminal justice programs exhibit racial “tokenism,” in that the majority of such programs employ no more than one Black tenured/tenure track professor. This tokenism creates a plethora of problems that undermine the contributions of Black faculty and prevent them from achieving their full potential. I use my own experiences to illustrate these issues. I conclude with potential solutions to the problems identified.

在这篇文章中，我认为犯罪学和刑事司法项目表现出种族主义的“象征主义”，因为大多数此类项目聘用的黑人终身教授不超过一名。这种象征性的做法造成了大量的问题，破坏了黑人教师的贡献，阻碍了他们充分发挥潜力。我用自己的经历来说明这些问题。最后，我提出了已确定问题的潜在解决方案。
