Abstract

Criminological Perspectives on Race and Crime examines an array of perspectives that have been used to contextualize criminal behavior among racial/ethnic minorities. Beginning with an historical review of a single perspective, each chapter takes into account the historical development of that perspective and the way in which race/ethnicity is contextualized by that theory. Because of the international nature of the overrepresentation of racial/ethnic minorities and immigrants in justice systems around the globe, the book also reviews international research. Throughout the chapters, the author considers which perspectives have shown the most promise in contextualizing the overrepresentation of racial/ethnic minorities and immigrants in justice systems around the world.

Abstract

"America can't shrink its reliance on mass incarceration until we confront our approach to punishment. These essays by renowned experts in a variety of fields and voices from incarcerated populations focus on our deep-rooted impulse to punish people in ways that are far beyond what could be considered proportionate. Together, they illustrate how necessary it is to rein in the punitive excess of the criminal legal system, which is inexorably entwined with the legacy of slavery. They also highlight how we have marginalized poor communities and people of color through criminalization and punishment. Addressing a range of issues-from policing to prosecution to incarceration to life after prison-the writers highlight how our nation has prioritized excess punishment over more supportive and less traumatic ways of dealing with social harm. The essays explore whether, when, and how we could have made different decisions that would have changed the way these systems of punishment and social control evolved. Looking ahead, they also ask how we can learn from this failed experiment with mass incarceration and prioritize human dignity over human misery"--

Abstract

Parce qu'elle est à la fois chargée de les juger et de les protéger, la justice des mineurs est une des institutions symboles de l'universalisme républicain. Traite-t-elle pour autant tous ces justiciables de la même manière ? Arthur Vuattoux a mené l'enquête auprès de deux tribunaux, suivi plusieurs procès, analysé plus de deux cents affaires mettant en cause des adolescents. Verdict: les normes de genre orientent profondément la façon dont les professionnels consultés par les juges et les juges eux-mêmes appréhendent les déviances à cet âge. Autant ils ramènent volontiers celles des garçons aux actes commis et au rôle des pairs, autant ils sont enclins à sexualiser et à médicaliser les comportements des filles.Ce traitement différencié dépasse les questions de genre, il touche aussi la race, l'âge, la classe sociale. Il contribue à produire ou à renforcer, au coeur même de l'institution judiciaire, les discriminations systémiques envers des populations minoritaires.
