Pediatrics, 93(6), 1050-1054. Whitehead (1994) associate the word “Hustle” to the very heart of the mescaline within the African American male community. The word hustle is and will always be embedded in the black community. As young black males the word little-man intertwine with hustle, Whitehead (1994) shows how young drug dealers fights to establish their right-of-passage to do whatever to become the “Big Man”.

Adolescent coping with cultural and social stress when it comes to their ethnicity according to Phinneny (1995) are saddling.

  • Disparity By Victor M. Rios: Chapter Summary

    1664 Words  | 7 Pages

    The author’s personal background, his familiarity with the scholarly literature on critical criminology and ethnography, and his three-year study of the 40 young men in Oakland combine to produce a significant contribution to the understanding of how our society oppresses and criminalizes young men of color. Rios’s affirmation of the humanity and aspirations of these young men is quite strong, as is his unrelenting exposé of the social processes which systematically deny their humanity and aspirations. While the grave problems of mass incarceration and police brutality have been widely discussed in numerous books and journals, the other aspects of the “youth control complex” have received less attention, and this book helps to address this gap in the literature. The author’s analysis of the role of probation officers, school officials, and even family members in the “youth control complex” is particularly informative. His discussion of the psychological and social damage inflicted on these young men by “hypercriminalization” is both revealing and

  • Summary Of The New Jim Crow By Michelle Alexander

    1805 Words  | 8 Pages

    She points out that in some states, 80-90% of those sent to prison on drug charges are African American. This enormous discrepancy cannot be blamed either on black culture or “old-fashioned,” deliberate racism. Rather, much of the racial injustice of mass incarceration can in fact be attributed to unconscious bias. This is made worse by laws that may appear to be race-neutral on the surface, but in fact operate in deeply racist ways; this includes the one hundred-to-one ratio in sentencing recommendations for crack versus powder cocaine. Whereas there is little substantial difference between the two forms of cocaine, crack is more closely associated with black people—and carries sentences a hundred times longer than powder cocaine, which is generally associated with wealthy whites.

    Even upon release, those who have gone through the criminal justice system are subjected to negative health outcomes as a result of the adversity they face from society (Cloud, Parsons, & Delany-Brumsey, 2014). The War on Drugs accounts for the staggering two thirds rise in the federal prison population and the roughly fifty percent increase of inmates in state prisons, in fact since 1980 there has been a nearly 1,100 percent increase in the amount of drug offenders incarcerated (Alexander, 2012, p. 60). Yet not all races and communities have been caught in this epidemic equally. Impoverished, low income men of color have been more strongly impacted by the War on Drugs and mass incarceration. Discrimination and biased policing practices are the chief social causes that have resulted in the unfair disparity of men of color being more strongly affected by mass incarceration and the eco-social theory, despite its faults, is the most fitting model for researchers to utilize in assessing this social

  • Essay On Gender Socialization And Gender Roles

    934 Words  | 4 Pages

    Gender socialization and gender roles have always existed in society. When analyzing gender roles and their coming of age in the stories “Boys and Girls” by Alice Munro and “A&P” by John Updike, they are not always equal or consistent when comparing cultures; however, the expectations for males and females are often times defined by the community they reside in. Another way gender stereotypes are produced is through media such as television shows and movies. Media tends to have two kinds of gender tropes that show the ideal types of characteristics each gender is supposed to have. Masculinity tropes consist of having expectations of what a man should be, such as brave and diligent, and that men who have these features are considered real men.
