Contextual discrimination refers to a situation where racial minorities are treated differently depending on the context or situation, rather than a consistent pattern of discrimination across the entire criminal justice system (systematic discrimination). This can occur in certain locations or at specific stages of the criminal justice process. Discretionary discrimination is a form of discrimination that occurs when decisions are made by individuals in the criminal justice system who hold discretion, such as police officers or judges, based on biases or prejudices. Pure discrimination refers to a situation where racial minorities are consistently and intentionally discriminated against throughout the entire criminal justice system.
