Intergenerational Transfer of Class

Paper Summary:

Although a succinct and well worded definition is surprisingly difficult to find, the paper does provide a general description of the concept in action that should be of some assistance to those encountering the expression for the first time.

From the Paper:

'The following brief paper will review the concept, "intergenerational transfer of class". In addition to offering a succinct definition of it, the paper will also explore the relevancy of the above concept to the criminal justice system in the United States. In so doing, what it is hoped will emerge from this discussion is an appreciation of how certain socio-economic groups in society (which tend invariably to be dominated by certain ethnic and/or racial groups) perpetuate their advantages over time and, in so doing, ensure themselves of being in a strong position to take full advantage of the court system whenever the situation should arise.
