Question 3

In the Rios reading on the hypercriminalization of minority youth in the era of mass incarceration, the author coins a new term called the youth control complex.What does Rios mean by this term and how is it related to Simon's idea of "governance through crime," which is another term used in the article to describe today's predicament of troubled teens?

Accepted Answer

In the Rios reading, the term "youth control complex" refers to the system of social control and surveillance that disproportionately targets and criminalizes minority youth, particularly in low-income communities. Rios argues that this complex is a result of the intersection of various institutions such as schools, law enforcement, and the criminal justice system, which work together to regulate and criminalize the behavior of young people of color.

This concept is related to Simon's idea of "governance through crime," which refers to the use of crime control and punishment as a means of managing and regulating social problems. Rios suggests that the youth control complex operates within this framework of governance through crime, where troubled teens, especially those from minority backgrounds, are seen as a threat to social order and are therefore subjected to heightened surveillance, policing, and punishment.

Overall, Rios argues that the youth control complex and governance through crime contribute to the hypercriminalization of minority youth in the era of mass incarceration, perpetuating a cycle of marginalization and criminalization for these young people.
