Slavery and Violence in relation to Crime and Race

Slavery and Violence is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: Economics and the search for profits was the driving force behind the African slave trade. But violence was the cornerstone of forced human bondage. Cold, cruel, and calculated acts of violence were used to psychologically intimidate African slaves, as individuals and as a collective, and transform them into obedient servants, keeping them in their “proper place” in the economic, political, social, cultural, and legal order. However, the dynamics of managing human chattel was extremely complex. The power of masters was far from complete. Instead of simply succumbing, slaves often responded with passive and active resistance, including violent counterattacks on White masters and symbols of power. Masters and slaves were engaged in ongoing psychological warfare, using violence as a weapon of survival and control— often with unpredictable and dangerous results.

Violent Females in relation to Crime and Race

Violent Females is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: In January 2006, a 14-year-old White girl burned down her family’s home in Paris, Texas, and received probation. Three months later, a 15-year-old Black girl, Shaquanda Cotton, was sentenced to 7 years for pushing a school hall monitor. These incidents provide a basis for examining the relationship between race and female violence, as well as the myth of the “new violent woman.” Since 1980, the number of women incarcerated increased at double the rate of men, and much hype surrounds the idea of a “new violent woman. “However, women still represent a small percentage of arrests. As of 2007, 107,500 women were incarcerated, comprising 7% of prison populations. Still, the number of women arrested represented a 7.4% increase for the decade, while male arrests decreased 7.6%. The percentage change for women, while important, is modest considering the relatively small base, and increases are not due to violent offenses.

Code of the Streets in relation to Crime and Race

Code of the Streets is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: Explanations for racial disparities in violence are tailored to further an understanding of variation at both the individual and aggregate levels of analyses. Commonly, conceptual arguments refer to the social-structural arrangements of society as a key cause of unlawful behavior. Many in fact look to the neighborhood for the sources of violence. Even the most disadvantaged Whites likely do not reside in a neighborhood approximating the impoverished conditions of moderately poor Blacks. Some attribute high rates of violent crime by Blacks to these conditions. But few claim that the disproportionate level of lethal crime committed by Blacks is an absolute product of structural forces existing at the state, city, or neighborhood level. Theorists argue that abstract properties intervene in the causal pathway, linking conditions like poverty, joblessness, and family structure to the individual’s likelihood of engaging in violence.

Subculture of Violence Theory in relation to Crime and Race

Subculture of Violence Theory is included in the Encyclopedia of Race and Crime (1), beginning with: The subculture of violence refers to a set of norms, values, or attitudes that exist within a group and in which violence is an accepted part of the lifestyle of that group. In general, a subculture is formed by those who share something in common, such as class, ethnicity, religion, or place of residence. Social science theorists have observed that subcultures may establish social norms that are in opposition to those of the society at large, such as those regarding violence. A subculture of violence is characterized by its members’ shared belief that violence is part of a way of life, a way to end disputes, and a way to gain respect and prove one’s manhood.
