The criminalization of black children : race, gender, and delinquency in Chicago's juvenile justice system, 1899-1945 / Tera Eva Agyepong. by Agyepong, Tera Eva, author. Chapel Hill : The University of North Carolina Press, 2018 Series:  Justice, power, and politics. Description:  xiii, 180 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm. Contents:  Contingent childhood : black children and the making of juvenile justice -- Race-ing innocence : the emergence of juvenile justice and the making of black delinquency -- Boundaries of innocence : race, the emergence of Cook County Juvenile Court, and punitive transitions -- Constructing a black female delinquent : race, gender, and the criminalization of African American girls at the Illinois Training School for Girls at Geneva -- Flight, fright, and freedom : delinquency and the construction of black masculinity at the Training School for Boys at St. Charles. Summary:  "In this book, Tera Agyepong explores the vital role children played in the construction of ideas of criminality in early twentieth century Chicago. For African American children, youthfulness--far from being a marker of purity or innocence--was a factor in subjecting them to particular institutional, social, and economic vulnerabilities at the hands of the juvenile justice system. At a moment when blackness was becoming a marker of criminality, their race overrode the potential protections their status as children could have provided them."   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 364.36089 Agy 2018 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
