Blog 10

For this extremely late blog we were supposed to write about the crime rate in juveniles. How race and crime fits into these offenses. Minorities are way more likely to be convicted of the same crime as a white person just because of their skin color. Another reason this happens is because of the money factor. Many white kids who get in trouble get off the hook because their parents are too "hooked up." However, these colored kids get in trouble just because they cant afford the bail. Rich kids use crack while the poor use cocaine. That's the difference. Therefore, we could ask ourselves why this happens. Is it because police are only looking to bust the poor black/latino kids or is it something else?
