Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Increasing racial diversity in criminal justice-related occupations is expected to improve the legitimacy and equity of criminal justice systems. Common to this expectation is the assumption that diversity promotes multiculturalism in contexts of decision-making, such as police and court organizations. While there have been efforts to promote minority representation in justice-related occupations, and dramatic increases in select areas over the past several decades, this increase is concentrated in service sector positions such as policing, security and corrections. Minorities remain underrepresented in professional and administrative sectors where they would presumably have more influence on cultural norms of justice systems. There is need for institutions of higher education to recruit and prepare minority students to fill these professional and administrative roles. Assuming more equitable distribution of minority workers across service and professional sectors, it remains questionable whether cultural competencies and professional orientations minorities introduce are constant over generations. For example, older generations and more recent minority-group immigrants may be more fluent in native languages, or multi-lingual, compared to younger generations adapted to mainstream cultural norms. Understanding these and other generational or cohort differences would contextualize expectations of diversity in justice-related occupations, and efforts to recruit and prepare minority students in relevant areas of higher education. This paper explores similarities and differences of minority-group cohorts with criminal justice-related interest and experience. Using in-depth interviews (N=30) with three cohorts (high school students participating in a federal court internship, college students majoring in criminal justice, and federal court workers), we compare and contrast respondent’s identities, language abilities, and orientations towards minority-community crime and criminal justice. The paper concludes with discussion of implications of cohort similarities and differences for diversity initiatives in educational and employment contexts.
