Implementing restorative justice in the schools would do wonders as it could be the first interaction that children have with punishment. Reintegrative shaming within RJ would remove stigmas and teach to punish/label an act at criminal not an individual. #so345

"If I was born without any straps on my boats, how am I supposed to pick myself up" Everyone cannot be given the same resources/support. Those who are behind the starting line need help getting there first. #so345

Rios points out the value of listening and admiring the stories that children bring into the school environment. In order to do this I think we need to re-examine who we are having teach our students.#so345

@ecm_butso Along with internalizing racism I think the social construction of what is means to be a specific race has been reinforced so heavily that it is impossible to think of success and not associate it with "acting white" #so345

you can only resist the labels of society so long before it becomes impossible to distinguish what you believe to be real and what others tell you is true. How can be separate self-identity and the identities other put on us? Which is more important? #so345

I realized the important of "space and place" - regardless of successfully following the expectations of society the boys were still criminalized due to there relativity to the delinquent boys. #so345

@CrimXSoc I think that just as much as the need to impress older members in a gang is a way to prove "being a man", the need to impress superior members in the police ranks is also fueled by the need to prove one's manhood, which is often connected with the use of excessive force. #so345

@User1269884151 I think we need to also examine the access to guns and weapons outside of the police community. Think of countries were the police do not have to carry guns... this is only possible if citizens also do not have easy access to weapons. #so345

Which do you believe is more dangerous: buying into these stereotypes of manhood and peacocking - putting your life on the line or rejecting them and risking being seen as less than a man/weak? (2/2) #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

SI tells us that interactions based on dominant labels create meaning. How can these boys have any different versions of manhood when the enviro they exist in have very rigid definitions of being a man. (1/2) #so345

What is means to be a man is contextually diff for Spider than it is for the officers arresting him. Bc masculinity is a social construct it requires different attributes in each setting. What are common beliefs in our college environment that are used to define a man? #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

choosing to participate in deviant acts was the boys only source of agency when they lived in a world of constraint... while it may seem like they had agency to choose the wrong thing it was more the only choose they felt they had. Do we truly have any agency against soc? #so345

What are social movements that we can think of that have stemmed from resistance identities? #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

the idea of misrecognition interested me because I wander if adults did not or choose not to see the boys positive attempts at entering the professional world. #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

I believe the idea of youth being criminalized from their parents has to do with the intertwined of the private and public sphere. Probation + police officers bring the youth complex into the private space making it impossible for the boys to escape. #so345

We often forget to examine who is benefiting or sourcing money for projects. We do this when we buy products from companies and forget to acknowledge where the money is going. #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

I have never heard of Garland's analysis of punishment before. Punishment helps create the social world and for these boy specifically it will create meaning through their interactions with criminality in all areas. #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

It's interesting the suggestion that social scientists have focused too much on marginalized black men's behavior allowing the police to treat these men as if they all live by the code of the streets. Do you think this is true? #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

I believe there needs to be a clear separation between police/probation officers and non criminal justice matters like school/college. This crossover just gives police more influence over all aspects of youths lives resulting in unfair bias and perspective from police. #so345

[. @bluebird_818]

I found it interesting that Rios explained that labeling was no longer just being used in a micro way by people, or institutions, but is a macro scale as a form a informal social control. #so345
