Locking Up “Surplus” Labor Greed Surplus, De

Locking Up â€Å"Surplus† Labor Greed Surplus, De The first chapter of the reading speaks mostly about the differences in the percentages of certain racial groups in crime. Throughout the periods, such as the 1980's; described here in this chapter, minorities including African-Americans and Latinos and have a higher rate of serving prison sentences however they either have equal or lower rates of criminal activities then whites. The differences the author tried to examine is that there is a racial stereotype that most people have against minorities as well as people below the poverty level which in most situations are minorities anyhow. The police and other authorities "feel" that they have more of a need enforce the law upon neighborhoods that are predominately populated by the minorities, and have less of a duty to protect them from crimes and acts of violence.If a person of color is driving a car and them don't fit the description of a person that should be driving that type of car, especially if the license plates are out-of-sta te, that person has a high chance of being pulled over by the police and questioned or harassed.WAIS-IV FSIQ Scores by Race and Ethnicity
