Preferred term

petit apartheid  

Definition

  • The theory of “petit apartheid” was introduced by criminal justice scholar Daniel E. Georges-Abeyie in 1990 to refer to the subtle discrimination, prompted by an individual's race, ethnicity, gender, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, or nationality, embedded within the criminal justice system. Such discrimination often takes the form of discretionary decisions and actions that do not appear in public records, and is thus hidden from public view.
