Deadline, Vengeance, and Tribute

A Prescription for Black Juvenile Delinquency

Abstract

   Young people are rebelling against the hypocrisy of a society that sets
   certain values and then lives up to their opposite. Young black
   offenders can find few good examples inside or outside their community,
   while the conditions which make delinquent acts an attractive choice
   are created and maintained by the entire society. The strategy set up
   by the society to contain black juve .nile delinquency has three
   elements: the deadline—keeping blacks in black neighborhoods;
   vengeance—a judicial and con finement system that punishes and does not
   rehabilitate; and tribute—programs to buy off trouble temporarily. This
   strategy has worked only in the sense of making poor blacks the most
   frequent victims of black juvenile crime. The blame for the strategy's
   failure to reduce crime has been placed on the black culture rather
   than the society that devised the strategy and carries it out.
