Overview
Many of the readings and films we’ve covered this semester highlight the effects poverty can have on a community. Using at least two readings, discuss what contributed to the creation of the “American Ghetto.” What changes happened “on the ground” (on a community/neighborhood level)? What policy decisions contributed? Additionally, what role does the criminal legal system play in maintaining these areas of concentrated poverty? This essay should be approximately 3-4 pages, double-spaced, using APA citation.
