Crime versus justice: is there a trade-off?

Article Abstract:

The US may not be able to reduce crime rates, minimize wrongful convictions, and eliminate justice discrimination at the same time. If the goal of maintaining equality in justice were dropped, innocent African-Americans would be significantly more likely to be convicted of crimes than innocent whites. If the paramount goal was to maintain equality, the murder rate would likely rise.
