Historical Roots of Chicago’s Contemporary Violence: An Interpretation of Chicago’s Early Sociologists’ Texts on Black Assimilation
Early 20th-century Chicago witnessed an in-migration of foreign-born immigrants and Black American migrants fleeing slavery. As the Black Americans’ population increased and dispersed across urban neighborhoods, Whites’ anti-Black aggression and violence intensified. This article outlines the mechanisms that account for this discord through an examination of sociological texts. We propose that, first, contemporary racial discord has diachronic or…
From the street to the prison, from the prison to the street: Understanding and responding to prison gangs
This article examines a range of issues associated with gangs in incarcerated settings. We begin by examining the similarities and differences between street and prison gangs, and differentiating them from other types of criminal groups. Next, we focus on the emergence and growth of gangs in prison, including patterns and theoretical explanations. Importantly, we draw theoretical linkages between differing perspectives on gang emergence and gang …
The Myth of Prison Rape: Sexual Culture in American Prisons
The Myth of Prison Rape provides a nuanced glimpse into the complex sexual dynamics of American prison. Drawing on results from the most comprehensive study of inmate sexuality to date, Mark S. Fleisher and Jessie L. Krienert analyze the intricacies of sexuality and sexual violence in daily inmate life. Pulled from over 500 interviews from male and female high-security inmates, their research assesses inmate perception, belief, opinion, and expla…
Life‐course events, social networks, and the emergence of violence among female gang members
Using data gathered from a multi‐year field study, this article identifies specific life‐course events shared by gang‐affiliated women. Gangs emerge as a cultural adaptation or pro‐social community response to poverty and racial isolation. Through the use of a social‐network approach, data show that violence dramatically increases in the period between gang affiliation and first pregnancy and decreases with pregnancy and childbirth. Policy recomm…

Gangsters: Fifty Years of Madness, Drugs, and Death on the Streets of America
Dead End Kids: Gang Girls and the Boys They Know
Girls are no less important to gang life than boys. Young women get trapped in cycles of victimization and self-defeating behaviour despite their tough talk to the contrary. This book aims to expose gang life as seen through the eyes of a teen-aged girl named Cara. It provides an account of Cara's life as a member of a Kansas city gang, the Fremont Hustlers. Drugs and guns, shootings and assaults, boyfriends and pregnancies, ratty apartments, bro…
Mean Streets: Youth Crime and Homelessness
Teaching correctional management to criminal justice majors
This article describes a multifaceted course in correctional institutions that integrates policy and practical issues with management theory. Junior and senior criminal justice majors are challenged by two major course projects that require cooperative effort in learning teams, library research, collection of data from correctional agencies, classroom presentations, and written reports. Although at first this course is more difficult to implement…

Eliciting Gang Networks
New Ethnographies
Getting Involved in the Criminal Justice System
Anthropologists are lucky. Their research perspectives, theoretical ideas, styles of analysis, and emphasis on narrative expression, all nestled on a foundation of cultural relativism, have given anthropologists creative ways to interpret social life around the world. From Bhopal to Nuerland to British Columbia, anthropologists have plied their trade. Today they are using their unique perspectives to cast light on tough social issues in American …

Sapienization and Speech [and Comments and Reply]
Middle Pleistocene erectus skulls differ from ours in fifteen discrete traits, primary among which are their smaller cranial capacities, flatter and more strongly constructed braincases, larger and more anteriorly projecting faces, and inflected mastoid processes. Back to 40,000 years ago all fossil hominids are of the sapiens desing, while all those clearly older show the erectus pattern. Except for their large brains, Neandertals are of the ere…
