Study Notes
The Hyper-Criminalization of Black and Latino Male Youth
- Black and Latino male youth are "hyper-criminalized" in the juvenile justice system.
- Even for non-violent offenses, youth experience punishment and criminalization traditionally aimed at violent offenders.
- This hyper-criminalization extends beyond the justice system, permeating schools, families, and community centers.
- A "youth control complex" emerges, managing, controlling, and incapacitating Black and Latino youth through racialized criminalization.
Methodology
- The study was conducted in the San Francisco Bay Area from 2002-2005.
- The research is based on ethnographic interviews with 30 Black and Latino male youth, 28 of whom were arrested for non-violent offenses and 2 for violent offenses.
- A control group of 10 at-risk youth who had never been arrested was also included.
Experiences of Criminalization
- Youth reported feeling the direct effects of incarceration and police repression, as well as the “governance through crime.”
- They experienced constant surveillance, threats, and punitive practices in various settings.
- The study highlights the influence of William Bennett’s ideology on punitive criminal justice policy and state-imposed racial violence upon communities of color.
- The study finds that institutions traditionally responsible for protecting and nurturing children and youth have adopted a punitive approach, mirroring the criminal justice system.
- This includes mothers, teachers, and community center staff.
Key Concepts
- "Governance through crime" refers to the everyday impact that citizens experience from encounters with a society obsessed with surveillance, security, and punitive penal practices.
- Hyper-criminalization refers to the exaggerated labeling and treatment of individuals as criminals, particularly Black and Latino male youth.
- The "youth control complex" refers to the network of racialized criminalization and punishment deployed from various institutions of control and socialization.
