Highlights​


  • At the turn of the 21st century, increased arrests of early adolescent girls has disproportionately impacted girls of color, specifically African American girls.

  • Research on the issues, policies, and programs for early adolescent girls who may be at heightened risk for aggression and violence perpetration has remained limited.

  • A systematic review of the literature conducted over the first two decades of the 2000s generated only 20 studies that examined aggressive and violent behaviors in early adolescent

Conclusion​

In light of recent scholarship on the racial invariance hypothesis and on the relationship between structural inequality and crime, the current study demonstrates that disparities in disadvantage, particularly family structure and poverty, are important in driving racial and ethnic disparities in crime.

Violent crime, especially homicide, is a burden that falls more heavily on African American (and to a lesser extent) Hispanic than White communities. The most common explanations of the relatively high levels of violent crime among Blacks and Hispanics focus on the effects of poverty and unemployment, educational inequality, residential segregation, social disorganization, subcultural adaptations to disadvantage, and the legacy of racism and discrimination on behavior (Steffensmeier, Ulmer, Feldmeyer, and Harris, 2010; Kubrin and Weitzer, 2003). Besides lacking economic resources, Blacks and other minorities are subject to relatively greater social isolation and resource deprivation (Blau and Blau, 1982; Hipp and Yates 2011; Lee, 2000; Parker and McCall, 1999; Tittle, 1995) and some observers suggest that these conditions, in turn, help to spawn subcultural patterns, such as a “Code of the Streets” which fosters violence, that distinguish minority from White communities in particular (Anderson, 1999; Harer and Steffensmeier, 1992).

We can no longer blame racism on the growing problem of violence in the AA culture. They are victim s at both ends the perpetrator and the victim. If we are to solve this problem the denial excuse making and cover ups must end and we must face the problem at its source. The destruction of the two parent family by the welfare state.
 
Thank goodness, water is still wet.
Water isnt wet.
Wet : cover or saturate with water or another liquid.
A liquid isnt wet.
This drives me nuts because people use as the most obvious thing on the planet, and have been for a long time. But its not even correct.
