abstract: 'When income segregation is coupled with racial segregation, low-income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
blacks cluster in neighbourhoods that feature disadvantages along
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
several dimensions including joblessness. Residents of these
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
neighbourhoods are often innocent victims of crime, including violent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
crime, which frequently goes unnoticed or unreported in the media. They
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
represent the other side of Black Lives Matter'', which suggests the need
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for a broader vision that also highlights the plight of innocent victims
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of violent crimes in the inner city, and that recognizes the close
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
association between such crimes and joblessness. I therefore call for a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy prescription that would enhance the employment prospects of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jobless youth, who are disproportionally involved in criminal offenses,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
especially those stigmatized by prison records. In making the case for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
this public policy prescription, I challenge Orlando Patterson''s
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assumptions, based largely on the research of Roger Waldinger, that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young black males are reluctant to take low-wage employment by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
highlighting the important research of Stephen Petterson on reservation
