Crime Pays: How Black Americans Became Central To The Carceral State, Will Brooks
Crime Pays: How Black Americans Became Central To The Carceral State, Will Brooks
Honors Theses
Over the course of American history, Black Americans have been intentionally criminalized at moments of ostensible social progress. This legacy of intentional criminalization of minority communities has both created the perception that African Americans are innately criminal and given rise to a prison-industrial complex that now depends on Black bodies. Now, predictive policing technology reinforces perceptions of Black criminality necessary for the justification of the carceral state and the survival and expansion of the prison-industrial complex.
