The Making of the Philadelphia “Badlands”
During the early 1990s Philadelphia police officers and Philadelphia Inquirer reporters dubbed the Black and Latine neighborhoods of North Philadelphia the “Badlands.” This geologic term evoked landscapes in the American West to convey the deleterious impact of deindustrialization and the rise of the drug trade on these neighborhoods. I argue that this discourse obscured the social, political, and economic transformations these neighborhoods expe…

This report provides basic descriptive information on Maine families such as population rates, family composition, and ethnic and racial diversity. It also provides an overview of issues impacting Maine families including poverty rates, employment rates, educational attainment, and marriage and…
You Know It When You See It”
In 1991, Philadelphia prosecutors formed the Public Nuisance Task Force (PNTF) to close bars they accused of harboring narcotics activity. Between the early 1990s and the late 2010s, the PNTF would go on to seize 1,697 homes, most located in Black and Latinx neighborhoods devastated by decades of disinvestment. I contend that the PNTF mobilized municipal carceral power to target these drug nuisance properties as they attempted to manage enduring …
Children's activities, parental concerns, and child care service utilization in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic
Introduction In the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, most Canadian provinces and territories enacted public health measures to reduce virus spread, leading most child care centers across the country to limit or halt in-person service delivery. While it is broadly known that the range of activities available to children and youth reduced drastically as a result, research has yet to explore if and how children's activities shifted in relation…
Dirty money and financial inequality in North Philadelphia
Between 1984 and 2016, Philadelphia prosecutors seized over US$86 million dollars, most of it in the form of cash taken from Black and Latinx Philadelphians. These seizures of dirty money were realized through civil forfeiture, which has the unique capacity to enrich municipal law enforcement agencies while dispossessing alleged participants in the drug trade. As a civil intervention into the illicit narcotics trade, cash forfeiture is characteri…
War in the Neighborhood
In 1988, anti-drug activist Herman Wrice raided a Philadelphia "crack house," an event that precipitated a citywide anti-drug movement. This essay explores how these activists sought to close the crack houses across the city. An object of social regulation and legal prohibition, the crack house was also a commonsense marker of racialized drug users' sensationalized failures to comport with the dominant moral strictures of middle-class domesticity…
