Document Summary
Use course material about young black men, aboriginal youth, young women, and men in conflict with the law, street involved youth in order to answer this question. Your answer should draw on the muncie article and reference intersectionality. Make sure you substantiate your claims citing research, concepts and frameworks from the second half of the course. Class: crossover kids, income & street involved youth. This is an intersectionality question because it determines who is more disadvantaged in the beginning, who does not have a home to live in, etc: this is the intersection of class, race, and gender. Risk (low income, single parent homes, child welfare involvement, employment) Tough love : ex. when moms turn in their children because they would end up dead otherwise. Faulty parenting paradigm: most of the time, mothers are at fault and single mother homes are the most faulty, this blames parents by assuming difference.
