The Interconnection of Social Problems
Review the article, Race, poverty and punishment: The impact of criminal sanctions on racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic inequality , as you to prepare for this paper.
As Wheelock and Uggen (2006) point out, "the association between crime, punishment, and poverty has long been the subject of sociological and criminological investigation" (p. 1). This assignment is intended illustrate the interconnection of social problems.
Write a discussion about the overlap of crime, punishment, and poverty. In your discussion, please explain the following five core arguments made by the authors:
Criminal sanctions and victimization work to form a system of disadvantage that perpetuates stratification and poverty.
Punishment impacts individuals convicted of felonies, as well as their families, peer groups, neighborhoods, and racial group.
After controlling for population differences, African Americans are incarcerated approximately seven times as often as Whites.
Variation in criminal punishment is linked to economic deprivation.
As the number of felons and former felons rises, collateral sanctions play an ever-larger role in racial and ethnic stratification, operating as an interconnected system of disadvantage.
