From the Paper
"Juvenile justice system statistics of delinquent behavior, as compared to self report studies, fail to accurately reflect the extent of delinquency in the middle class. As such, the juvenile justice system purports that delinquency predominately occurs among lower class minors. The extent of middle class delinquency and its varieties, however, show that socioeconomic status does play a role in the outcome of these cases, revealing biases within the juvenile justice process along the way.
When many people think of juvenile delinquents, poor, minority children come to mind. This is not an altogether inaccurate supposition, although not necessarily for the reasons one might be inclined to expect. Socioeconomic..."

"Conviction Or Acquittal? Relationship Between the Socio-Economic Status of Juror and Defendant: A Research Proposal
Introduction
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia warned a few years ago that jurors tend to sympathize with defendants of their own kind (Marcotte, 1989, p. 41). The clear implication of the justice's warning was that such sympathies may well extend to biased trial judgments. While Scalia's statement is more anecdotal than scientific in character, the justice does speak from a position of unquestioned knowledge on the issue.
The Rodney King police beating case in Southern California caused a storm of controversy when a predominantly white, middle-class jury acquitted white, middle-class police officers in the face of an overwhelming public perception of defendant guilt..."

From the Paper
" A new hypothesis in criminal justice is that an individual's involvement in criminal enterprise is not a result of unemployment (or underemployment) but, rather, that the time spent involved in perpetrating crimes prevents the person from seeking gainful employment. However, the overwhelming abundance of research directed at crime and unemployment views the issue from the starting points of poverty, education, and unemployment as the causatives. Thus, this research examines the issue of crime and unemployment from the conventional perspective which dominates the literature of past and present research.
Hagan writes the following:
Sociological criminology is undergoing a theoretical transformation that is energized in part by the new ethnographies of poverty and crime. This transformation.."

From the Paper
"Being an election year, and considering that the cold-war era has reached its conclusion the thoughts of policy-makers have returned to the often neglected sphere of domestic politics. One domestic issue which has become particularly salient in this election year is health care which can be provided to individuals of all socioeconomic backgrounds, and particularly to those who are least able to afford it. This issue has become one of national significance; however, this issue paper will closely examine how the issue of health care for the underprivileged has been addressed in the state of California. California is not only a microcosm of the nation at large, but it also provides many unique examples concerning medical care for the underprivileged. This paper will assert that in the state of California the quality of medical care and access to care is..."

From the Paper
" In the United States today there is considerable legitimate concern about the problem of violence and aggressive behavior. Many people believe that America is an armed camp. With 67 million handguns in circulation, every year some 640,000 people are confronted by a criminal with a handgun, and this violence leads to more violence as fear of guns sells more guns in an endless feedback loop. All too often casualties are children. Each day 13 youngsters are killed by guns and 30 others are wounded: in 1991 alone, 5,336 died. Even in schools, tens of thousands of guns are carried to class every day..
Others believe violence will not be cured by limiting handguns, although this is a start. They state that society must find the causes of violent and aggressive behavior. Accordingly, this viewpoint has given rise to many theories about the causes..."

"TRENDS IN ADULT VIOLENT CRIME AND EXPLANATIONS
This essay summarizes the statistical trends in the incidence of violent crimes committed by adults in the United States in recent years and discusses possible explanations therefore, with special reference to law enforcement and criminal justice related reasons. The available research suggests that a substantial decline in the rate of adult violent crime has taken place in the 1990s in large American cities (with populations of 250,000 or more). That decline is due in part to causes which are unrelated to the efforts of government at all levels to reduce and control such crimes, demographic factors, and to others, such as changing patterns of illegal drug use, which are only partially related to crime suppression measures. In the short run, a combination of changes in the character and scale of ..."

Abstract
This paper explains that the first chapter of "Crime and Inequality" attempts to explain the patterns of inequality found in research that connects disadvantaged and subordinated groups to crime and delinquency. It shows how Hagan and Peterson explain the correlation between socioeconomically depressed areas and patterns of high delinquency rates that occur there.
From the Paper
"Those who experience crime and violent crime most frequently are found to be young, disadvantaged, minority males. Hagen and Peterson attempt to explain this phenomenon with two points: 1.) race-linked discrimination produces and influences crime and 2.) treatment of minorities by the criminal justice system perpetuates discontentment and distrust of the system and authority in general. In order to fully explain this trend, the authors focus on the details and nuances associated with street crimes. Street crimes are described as ?common-law crimes of murder, assault, robbery, rape, burglary, and larceny that are widely considered serious law violations.? (Hagen, pg. 15) African-American juveniles are the most common offenders of street crimes. Hagen and Peterson explain the reason for this is because the FBI has been reporting crimes committed by juvenile African-Americans separately for many years, and has accumulated in-depth records regarding this occurrence."

Socioeconomic Status and Education, 2006.

Abstract
This paper cites numerous studies showing that lower socioeconomic status negatively affects a student's school performance, whether at the elementary school level or at the university level. The paper describes the myriad of negative consequences that a low socioeconomic status can have on student and how this status can burden the student throughout his academic career.
From the Paper
"In an ideal world, schools should be places of academic learning, where every child has an equal opportunity to excel, where every student's course of study can be determined by aptitude, ability and desire. However, many things stand in the way of this idyllic notion of "equal opportunity." Race, gender and personal abilities are just a few of the things that trouble students as they move through the educational system. In many ways the issue of social class stands above the rest as a criterion for advancement and success in education. Simply put, a child with a lower socioeconomic status will have a harder time performing in school, finishing secondary school, reaching college and obtaining a higher education degree."

Abstract
This paper examines a study conducted in Alabama that found a correlation between reading level and socioeconomic status. The test results revealed that students from minority and/or economically disadvantaged backgrounds had the weakest performance on these exams. The paper then discusses how teachers can prepare their students to perform better on such standardized tests. The author concludes by encouraging teachers to teach their students test-taking skills, with particular focus given to minority students or those from a lower socioeconomic background.
From the Paper
" The startling contrasts found on a standardized exam's percentile scores between Alabama's diverse school districts indicate that socioeconomic factors play a significant role in explaining such widespread discrepancies. SES can also explain how the overall percentile scores for all students within wealthier districts were higher than scores from the poorer ones. Such results reveal that students from minority and/or economically disadvantaged backgrounds are the most negatively affected by these exams. Thus it is incorrect to assume that such exams are useful towards gauging a given school's quality of teaching. Teachers should therefore realize that such exams cannot determine how good they are at their jobs, despite what educational administrators and elected officials like to believe, because the results often come out being biased towards certain groups in society."
