¶ … programs within institutions that can adversely affect the life of a given section of the community or student population. The 'zero tolerance' approach to fighting drugs in institutions is a well intentioned course that is meant to see a minimization of the use of drugs from academic institutions. It is widely argued that the program has however targeted the minority, hence predisposing them to higher punitive measures than their majority counterparts. This may not have kits origins from the program itself but from the historical data and frequency of proven cases of drug use or handling among the minorities. Whether these statistics are relative to the entire population or in a case by case consideration is still argued out there, but one fact for sure is that the minority have over time had higher encounters with the law enforcement agencies in line with drug related cases (Human Rights Watch, 2009).

Unfortunately this emanates from both the relatives of those who are to benefit from the institution and those in charge of admission into the institutions. There are relatives who would like to have their old parents or neglected children get admitted in an institution that is predominantly black, or white or the other races. There is lacking objectivity in the decisions made on both the administration and the beneficiaries. A practical example is the disparity in decisions made based on the race rather than the facts. An instance is when a child is taken into the institution due to neglect, there is possibility of inconclusive evidence showing that. A child from a black family can easily be recommended for the foster home on grounds of neglect if say the father was shot by a rival gang in total disregard of the love and care the mother may show. This is highly unlikely to be the case if the family was white and the father got shot by a rival…
