Youth, Jobs, and the Future
This book confronts the persistent issues of youth unemployment and worsening socioeconomic precarity in the United States. While overall unemployment has declined, the unemployment rate remains nearly twice as high for young people 16–19 years of age and nearly three times as high for those aged 20–24. Millions of youth are neither in school nor working, and rates of unemployment and underemployment are nearly two to three times higher for black…
Youth Unemployment and the Illicit Economy
This chapter focuses on factors that led youth to initially participate in the illicit economy, stay involved, or decide to leave. Part of the cultural landscape that directly applies to employment has changed and will likely continue to change. Presently, there are individuals in both the lower and middle classes who think it is only acceptable to work at a job worthy of their labor. Therefore, it is now considered more acceptable to forgo worki…
The Children of Low-Status Immigrants and Youth Unemployment in the United States and Western Europe: Problems and Prospects
This chapter examines the challenges faced by the children of low-status immigrants in education and the labor market. While youth in general face more challenges in the early twenty-first-century than their parents and grandparents did, many of these second-generation youth face a special set of hurdles because of their disadvantaged immigrant origins. In education, the second generations originating from low-status groups suffer “ethnic penalti…
Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs and Street Gangs: Scheming Legality, Resisting Criminalization
Racial differences in physician usage among the elderly poor in the United States
Cracks in the Pavement: Social Change and Resilience in Poor Neighborhoods
Woven throughout with rich details of everyday life, this original, on-the-ground study of poor neighborhoods challenges much prevailing wisdom about urban poverty, shedding new light on the people, institutions, and culture in these communities. Over the course of nearly a decade, Martín Sánchez-Jankowski immersed himself in life in neighborhoods in New York and Los Angeles to investigate how social change and social preservation transpire among…
Gangs and Social Change
Extant literature on the subject has usually defined gangs as loose associations of individuals engaged in some type of delinquent or criminal activity. Yet researchers have failed to sociologically differentiate gangs from other types of collective behavior. In contrast, this article understands gangs as organizations influenced by the social structure of the urban areas in which they operate. Concentrating on gangs in the US context, the articl…
Minority Youth and Civic Engagement: The Impact of Group Relations
Civic involvement is something that all liberal-democratic governments want to encourage among their young citizens. Much of the literature has focused on the individual and what factors influence him or her to become civically engaged. What has been absent from these analyses of civic participation is an investigation of the impact of groups on the individual's perception of, and participation in, civic activities. This article looks at the impa…
Using Computers to Analyze Ethnographic Field Data: Theoretical and Practical Considerations
Computer-assisted data analysis is usually associated with the analysis of aggregate data according to the tenets of logical positivism. But there are more than twenty computer programs designed to assist researchers analyzing ethnographic data, and these programs may be used by researchers with a variety of epistemological orientations. Some computer-assisted qualitative data analysis (CAQDA) programs automate analysis procedures that have been …
Les gangs et la presse: La production d'un mythe national
Les gangs et la presse : la production d'un mythe national Aujourd'hui comme hier, les gangs font l'objet de beaucoup d'attention de la part des médias. Et pourtant ce qui frappe le plus dans la manière dont les médias traitent ce phénomène, c'est le manque remarquable de variété. Deux facteurs expliquent cette similitude. D'un côté, il y a les enjeux professionnels et les intérêts commerciaux des divers acteurs du monde des médias, qui, en même …
Les gangs et la presse: La production d'un mythe national
Gangs and the Media: Constructing a Stereotype and Managing a Myth Now as in the past, gangs are receiving much attention from the media. But what is most striking in the way the media handle this problem is the remarkable lack of variety. Two factors explain this consistency. On the one hand, there are the professional stakes and commercial interests of the various actors in the world of the media, which, together with certain technical constrai…
Islands in the Street: Gangs and American Urban Society
"Vivid, lively, and yet theoretically informed, a triumph of patient and sustained fieldwork. . . . Jankowski presents the gang and its members not as pathological departures from social norms, but as shrewd and resourceful operators."—Michael Lipsky, Massachusetts Institute of Technology " Islands in the Street fills a wide gap in the literature on gangs. Jankowski's innovative model of gang participation and organization is important and elegan…
