Vicious Circle

This article isnt that completly surprising to me. The different drug distribution, in my opinion is kind of stereotypical. How white men are doing heroine and cocaine and african americans do more smoking of marijuana. And how the minorities act, it is secondary deiviance, becuase they always seem to keep doing drugs, and knowing the consequences, keep doing it. The prison system for it all, seems like the right thing to do. By moving juveniles to an "adult" prison teaches them a bigger lesson. By them going to a bigger more scary prison it would teach them more of a lesson to hopefully make their next choice a sense of primary deviance.

  1. But why is it that you can take an African American and a white suburbanite, and the punishment always seems to be harsher on the African American youth?
