Abstract:
|
“Racial profiling” has become a common term in our academic and national lexicon on crime, but less critical attention has been given to “underenforcement” of the law as an equally, if not more egregious phenomena that pervades poor urban communities and manifests itself through sluggish police responses, tolerance of certain crimes, and political insensitivity to marginalized communities. Using data from a qualitative research project conducted in the San Antonio neighborhood of East Oakland, this paper seeks to explore the coterminous nature of “underpolicing” and “overpolicing.” It argues that both practices are important features of bureaucratic discretion in the criminal justice system and may occur in poor, stigmatized neighborhoods despite their seemingly opposite functions and offers insight into how this interface impacts how we think about race, class and gender inequality. |
