Economics of Crime

/in /by

The New Jim Crow provides an insight into mass incarceration. The rationale for assigning this reading is to challenge the assumptions related crime and punishment and determine where the breakdown between assessment of crime and punishment for crime limit the social benefit of punishment. Also, in evaluating the punishment and cycle of crime, it is possible to understand how data itself may assist in perpetuating incarceration and inequities in the treatment of individuals.

You are free to share any points or items that enhanced or affected your perception of the rationale for crime, the “fairness”of punishment, the social impact/cost of crime, the causality of crime and punishment or another related item that affects the assumptions embedded in economic assessment. I have also provided a few prompts below.

Racial indifference rather than overt racism promotes the vicious cycle of incarceration
Social norms affect incarceration, not necessarily crime
There is a racial bias in crime and punishment
Incarceration has many social costs, which include qualitative impacts that affect individual sense of status in a society
Stereotypes of the incarcerated are not necessarily consistent with the reality
This is a short paper assignment. The length should be between 1000 and 1250 words not including in-paper citations and references. APA style is the adopted writing style for this class.

I want you to think about the two themes that dominate the material we are covering in class:

process and canon.

how those things have impacted the creative processes of composers at the middle of the 20th Century,

and how that has impacted the creation of music and culture.

Think critically about the cultural and gendered roles of those composers whose work was / is elevated?

Consider the setting for various forms of music. 

Where is it performed?  Who is in attendance?  What is their cultural position?

How does this affect the way we think about / value those forms of music?

Consider the marginalized position of women composers and non-white musicians.

How does either enter the ‘high culture’ conversation?  Is it important to enter that conversation?

How does colonial mining factor into the mix?

Once we have identified what music is appreciated by whom,

what distinctions and hierarchies of race, class, and gender remain hidden or unspoken? 

How can they be exposed?  Shifted? 

Finally, how does the way we view popular and fine art impact the way we think about our social construction,

who should live where, attend what schools, have access to what jobs?

Depending on the ad or ads you choose, a successful rhetorical analysis will focus on one aspect of the rhetorical situation: Rhetor- based approach, Audience-based, Text-based, or Compare and Contrast. The last thing to consider for this assignment is whether or not all of this effort is successful or not. Some ads entirely miss the point, are tone deaf, or just poorly constructed. An ad does not have to be successful to be the basis of a successful rhetorical analysis.
