“Black men with criminal records are the most severely - TopicsExpress



          

“Black men with criminal records are the most severely disadvantaged group in the labor market. In some places, more than 50% of people are in this demographic. Research shows that racial disparities in violent crime disappear when you control for joblessness. Unemployed men of all races are equally likely to be violent, particularly if they are chronically without work. But rather than viewing high levels of violent crime in ghettoized communities as a symptom of the deeper economic and social ills, black men and boys are viewed as the problem itself and treated accordingly.” -Michelle Alexander
