Racial Tropes of ‘Street Gangs’ and the Aggressive Policing of Black Youth and Other Youth of Colour
The article examines police violence towards Black youth and other youth of colour in a neighbourhood of Montreal where gang policing has been in force for years. It combines findings from qualitative interviews with young people and evidence on gang policing to argue that racial tropes of ‘street gangs’ legitimate aggressive policing by reinforcing racial ideologies of innate Black deviance and conflating delinquency with mature criminality. Agg…
"Pseudo-Scientific Rationalizations for Police Racism in the Criminology of "Street Gangs
For almost four decades, there has been much talk in the press and political arenas in Montreal about a scourge of "street gangs" allegedly made up of Black youths and other youths of color and fueling crime and insecurity in an otherwise peaceable city. The article critically examines the criminological literature on "street gangs" that arose during a period of escalating racial tensions and White anxieties about Black immigration in the 1980s. …
Racism versus culture
The paper explores why the provinces of Ontario and Quebec devised contrasting policies in response to similar incidents of urban violence in the mid-2000s.

However, Ontario went one step further and created a new "youth policy" to expand out-of-school programs for children and adolescents. By examining the origins of the policies in each…

Le profilage racial à Montréal, effets des politiques et des pratiques organisationnelles
L’article décrit les résultats d’une enquête qualitative sur le profilage racial présent dans les pratiques policières et vécu par des jeunes de minorités racisées à Montréal, Québec. Dans plus de la moitié des 48 entrevues réalisées, des jeunes ont partagé des expériences de profilage racial provenant de policiers.

Black Students and High School Completion in Quebec and Ontario
The paper contributes to the literature on black students and racial disparities in high school completion in Canada and makes original use of the 2006 Census to analyze the educational attainment of 18‐ to 19‐year‐olds in Ontario and Quebec. Results of a logistic regression indicate that in both provinces, black/white disparities in graduation rates disappear when income, family structure, language, gender, and place of residence are taken into …
Black Families and Socio-economic Inequality in Canada
There have been virtually no recent census-based studies on the familial characteristics of black Canadians. The present study is a partial replication and extension of a study on black families published two decades ago by Christensen and Weinfeld (1993) and based on the 1986 Canadian census. The present paper utilizes the 2006 census in order to examine the current conditions of black families in Canada and assess what has changed since 1986 in…
