high-crime communities. 2/2 #so345

"A gang enhancement is an added
sentence to felony cases when the court finds a defendant guilty of committing a crime for the benefit of the gang". This is simply another tool that the punitive system has in their repertoire to lower the odds of success for members of 1/2 #so345

While it is often considered to be a negative trait for a researcher to have strong ties that can increase subjectivity in their research, it seemed to have been a strength in Rios' work. #so345

Victor Rios' three principles for successful education in his tedtalk are a great set of guidelines. #so345

"Similar to a permanent winter, criminalization and punitive social control provided the youths in this study with perpetually infertile conditions, robbing them of the opportunity to sprout, let alone flourish". #so345

a student's means to legitimate success like obtaining good grades would simultaneously decrease their social standing within their peers. #so345

"He found that as White students’ grades went up, their popularity in school also increased. This was not the case for Black and Latino students; their popularity diminished as their grades went up". It is so paradoxical that the behaviors that would increase ---> 1/2#so345

"It means making sure you riding legit, like letting them do their stupid shit and just keeping your mouth shut". It is sad that these non-delinquent boys have to subject themselves to the abuse of their civil liberties in order to stay out of legal punishment. #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

The probation officer's emphasis on pressuring these boys to acquire legitimate means to success accelerated their sense of strain, which in turn drove them towards deviance quickly. #so345

Additionally, it is even more unfortunate that the character traits which are necessary for survival in this environment are the exact character traits that land these boys into opposition with the criminal justice system. #so345

"So I gotta handle my business. Even if I am trying to change, I can’t look weak,” Tyrell explained". It is unfortunate that the environmental structure of these low-income/high-crime areas prevent significant social change in these boys in the name of their own survival. #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

It is concerning that differences in cultural meaning can have such an effect on the success of members of societies at the lower end of social stratification. #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

"When the boys displayed a genuine interest in “going legit,” getting a job or doing well in school, adults often could not recognize their positive attempts and sometimes interpreted them as rude or malicious acts and therefore criminalized them". #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

It's hard to imagine the toll that material criminalization would take on an adolescent over time. Giving a deviant label before deviance has occurred almost guarantees that deviance will occur for these kids. #so345

Do you think that social media makes it easy for people to conduct impromptu cointelpro-like behaviors against organizations they might hate? #so345

Became agents of the state in a way by enforcing norms for the purpose of their economic survival. This demonstrated a sort of trickle down control system. 2/2. #so345

"Throughout my fieldwork alongside the vendors, I was struck by the rigorous public order they maintained along the adjacent sidewalks. They constantly tidied the sidewalk, quelled arguments, and directed street and sidewalk traffic".I found it interesting that vendors 1/2 #so345

"Shit, if I got an itch, you better believe I’m waiting to scratch that shit ‘til I get off the block". I found this to be interesting, for lack of a better word. #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

"To be successful at any of these attempts to redefine the problems and negate the stigma, groups need to master communication and the media". Has the social media era made it easier for deviants to find their place in society? #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

Norm following is still dictating behavior (2/2) #so345

[AnonSocStudentCB @busocstudentcb]

"In such a context, deviants have little need to manage images or to “pass” in the wider society, although, ironically, they may have to exaggerate their own “badness” in order to stay strong in the group". I find it ironic that even in groups designated for deviation(1/2) #so345
