Redlining

would also be able to see what worked and what did not work based on the received collected data. Another evaluation strategy would be to measure performance. This could be done by seeing if the created tasks were completed, how they were completed, and how long it took to complete them. This is beneficial in evaluation because if the created tasks were completed then the objective they were created for was also completed. This will allow me to see what was successful and could be used again…

although on the surface the situation seemed to be a lot better than in the South, they were far from ideal. In that, the city and most of the Northern parts of America were plagued with institutional forms of racism not limited to practices such as redlining through FHA policies and the ghettoization of blacks, along with victimization at the hands of contract lenders; wherein black folk denied mortgages to own and buy homes, based purely on the fact of their origin, were tricked and lured,…

all across the country, becoming incredibly overcrowded. The War on Drugs makes it nearly impossible for people like Susan Burton and the many women she has helped to break the cycle. A profoundly flawed criminal justice system, systemic racism, redlining, education policy, and poverty are surely all to blame (8). It is a system that survives on a culture of power, a system that runs on the “idea that punishment was always the answer and was always deserved, that getting tough would solve…

It has been more than 50 years since the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous “I have a dream speech”, yet racial inequality and tension about race is still very much a part of U.S. society. A recent report from the Pew Research Center called “King’s Dream Remains an Elusive Goal; Many Americans See Racial Disparities.” The Pew Report found that people from different ethnic groups varied in what they think about the prevalence of racism, and whether people are treated differently by race…

against obstacles in the housing, educational, or justice system institutions. In the reading, “Race, Wealth, and Equality,” Oliver and Shapiro assert that affluent African Americans still toil to receive mortgages with low-interest rates despite redlining being illegal (as cited in Ore, 2014). My family has not faced discrimination in the mortgage market because of our white privilege. For that reason, my parents had more freedom to choose where we wanted to live and where I would receive an…

Racism is embedded into essentially every American institution and is nurtured by people who have racist predispositions. Ta-Nehisi Coates in Between the World and Me, writes “the ground we walked was trip-wired. The air we breathed was toxic. The water stunted our growth. We could not get out” (Coates, p. 28). His book, published in 2015, implies that racism, even today, is everywhere in American society. This is true in many major institutions, from education to law enforcement and religious…

It goes without saying that African-Americans or other minorities for that matter have gone through all sorts of things. Why them? Why put anyone lower than another person? I guess we will never know. Anyone who has read “A Raisin in the Sun” have felt the heart sinking feeling when the reader finds out that the insurance money get stolen. There must have been a million thoughts running through their head like, “if he would have done what mama said to do with the money with the family in this…

His study documents the process of that development, which he divides into three distinct eras: from 1900 to 1940, from 1941 to 1960, and from 1960 through the civil rights years and beyond. The first period incorporates the years of the great migration of southern blacks to the larger cities of the North and East. Noting that this period also witnessed a diffusion of many of those migrants to outlying areas around those cities, areas that meet the geographical, if not the sociological,…

Abstract In today’s society, in Missouri, we view dealing with crime in two types of criminology: Classical criminology and contemporary criminology. Both are still used today to study and see which is better for dealing with crime and criminals. Philosopher Cesare Beccaria developed and was credited with, rational classical criminology, which raises the question, “if you were caught by the police while shoplifting, would you be more afraid of: receiving punishment or a formal sanction from…
