    ABSTRACT POLITICAL SCIENCE FITCH, CHANELL M. B.A. JOHN JAY COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE, 2013 WHITE PRIVILEGE IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM: EXAMINING THE SHIFT IN MEDIA APPROACH TO THE WAR ON DRUGS Committee Chair: William Boone, Ph.D. Thesis dated July 2017 This study examines how the media has been used to perpetuate White privilege in the criminal justice system. The paper explores the shift in the media’s approach to drug epidemics depending on the demographic of drug users and how that shift in media influences the implementation of public policies. A policy analysis was used to examine the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1986 and the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act of 2016 in order to understand the different approaches taken by politicians and how these approaches are reflective of biased media coverage. Based on this analysis, it is evident in the language and tone of each policy that White privilege remains a critical function of the criminal justice system.

    The magazine of the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame Winter 2010 COLLABORATE Working together in a joint intellectual effort Letter from the Dean this edition of notre dame science focuses on collaborations. The acceleration of breakthrough discovery in science is a direct result of the acceleration in collaboration. We are more than a century away from Nobel’s requirement that no more than three scientists could receive his prize, and light years away from the days of the white-coated scientist working alone in a laboratory. Hundreds of scientists in such laborato- ries as Fermilab and CERN are investigating the origins of the universe. Notre Dame researchers among them have participated in the discovery of single quark production. Laboratories where faculty, postdoctoral asso- ciates, graduate students, and undergraduates collaborate on the Notre Dame campus are studying protein pathways and mathematical logic. Some of these collaborations are within departments. Some are across the University, such as the Interdisciplinary Center for the Study of Bio- complexity (ICSB). Some bring researchers together with clinicians, such as gregory p. crawford the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute and the Ara Par- William K. Warren Foundation Dean seghian Medical Research Foundation. Still other collaborations form when of the College of Science, instructs our scientists partner with organizations such as The Nature Conservancy. science-business interns. The new ESTEEM—Engineering, Science, Technology and Entrepreneur- ship Excellence Master’s—program and a new Scientific Entrepreneurship course for undergraduates expose students to the breadth of knowledge they will need in the modern world. New leaders on campus, including the deans of the Graduate School, the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Letters and the director of the Office of Technology Transfer share our emphasis on collaboration, and we will see more joint ventures with them in the future.
