I chose to do a little editing on the Racial bias in criminal new in the United States article. It seems to not be as nuetral is it could be and briefly explains assumptions and stereotype being made subconsciously but not where those subconscious bias comes from. I found an article in the MCC library database that dives into the physiology of it a little and I plan on adding a little bit of that to the article, citation at the bottom of this entry.

These subconscious assumptions that come up within individuals are often unintentional. Rooting from large amounts of information that has been thrown in at the individual throughout the years of their life, in this case a lot of incorrect stereotypical information. When having to make a quick decision from a natural survival instinct the mind automatically goes to the categorization of that large amount of information on that area that has been embedded in their minds. Which is wrongly criminalizing some ethnic groups. [1]
