Social Class and Crime
1. Why are street crimes committed by poor and working class
people defined as crimes
while corporate crimes committed by the wealthy are not
defined as crimes even though they
cause greater harm to society, including harm to human health
such as knowingly producing
and profiting from cancer-causing chemicals and highly-
addictive opioids?
Note: In the video, "The Corporation," a CEO says, "If I shoot
you, it is a crime. But if I
knowingly expose you to chemicals that will give you cancer, it
takes longer to kill you, but
what is the difference?"
The corporation, Purdue Pharma (owned by the Sackler family),
that made Oxycontin
marketed it to doctors as "less additive," knowing it was highly
additive, made billions while
tens of thousands of people became addicted and died from
overdose.
a) How is crime defined by the powerful and wealthy? How do
they benefit from the definition
of crime as street crime but not corporate crime?
b) How does the definition of crime as street crime
disadvantage poor and working class
people, especially poor people of color, and keep them under
the control of the police and
criminal justice system?

the right to get a gun and
follow and shoot a black man they believe committed a crime?
b) Would it be defined as a crime if black men killed a white
man who they believe
committed a robbery in the neighborhood?

women are 30 times more likely to
be sentenced to death than black men who kill blacks. When the
victim is is white rather than
black, black men are 6 times more likely to sentenced to death
and 14 times more likely to
be executed. No white man has been executed for a crime
against a black person since
1752.

coded-death-penalty.html
a) How is the fact that black men much more likely to be on
death row for killing a white
person than killing a black person a form of institutional
racism?
b) Why are no white men who kill a black person on death row?
c) Why are most if not all people on death row poor? (Do they
have access to good lawyers
like middle-class and wealthy people?)
Gender and Crime
1. How would patriarchal masculinity explain why most crime,
especially violent crime, is
committed by men?
2. Read the study, "Triple Entitlement and Homicidal Anger: An
Exploration of the
Intersectional Identities of American Mass Murderers," and why
most are heterosexual
middle class white teens and men:

2. Read this excerpt from bell hooks, Feminism is for
Everybody, about how domestic
violence is created by patriarchy.

bell hooks, a black feminist, refers to domestic violence as
patriarchal violence because it
is based on men's power over women and children through
violence. She writes:
"Patriarchal violence in the home is based on the belief that it is
acceptable for a more
powerful individual to control other through various forms of
coercive force. This expanded
definition of domestic violence includes male violence against
women, same-sex violence,
and adult violence against children. The term patriarchal
violence is useful because...it
continually reminds the listener that violence in the home is
connected to sexism and sexist
thinking, to male domination...more women are beaten and
murdered in the home than on
the outside....much patriarchal violence is directed at children
by sexist women and men." [p.
61-2]
a) How does patriarchy where the powerful control the
powerless, create intimate partner
violence, especially men against women?
b) How does that definition of patriarchy create child abuse in

The Progressive Plan to Solve Social Problems
Actions
The progressive plan approaches the solution to social
problems.

The progressive plan would build a strong safety net by
increasing unemployment benefits,
paid family leave, food stamps, Aid to Families with Dependent
Children, Head Start, and
Social Security, and Medicare.
It would replace brutal capitalism with democratic socialism in
which the government
provides universal health care, subsidized child care, good
public education, food security,
affordable housing, and a living wage.
A New New Deal for the Pandemic Recession
The New Deal created Social Security and the WPS, a jobs and
infrastructure-building
program, that brought the United States out of the Great
Depression.
The Great Society in the 1960s created Medicare, Medicaid, and
Head Start.

This includes fixing immigration policy so "essential" farm
workers who bring us fruit and

documentation with a path to
citizenship.

Solution
s to Social Problems such as:
Equal pay for equal work
Ending pregnancy discrimination and the "mommy track"
Ending sexual harassment in the workplace
Ending gender segregation in jobs and women's equal entry
into male-dominated jobs.
Equal representation in top corporate and government
positions.

Universal child care
Men doing equal child care and housework
Protecting women's reproductive rights including Roe v
Wade, the Supreme Court ruling
legalizing abortion
Ending the orgasm gap between women and men by
redefining heterosexual sex from
no-hands intercourse to the mutual stimulation of "clittage"
intercourse.
Ending intimate partner violence and child abuse
The feminist solution to patriarchy is redefine patriarchal
masculinity to feminist masculinity.
Feminist masculinity redefines manhood as men and boys
learning non-sexist thinking,
being emotionally expressive, loving and nurturing, and doing
equal child care, housework
and emotional care (like the boys in the video, "In My Shoes,"
learning to express love and

care for younger siblings).

women?
b) How would feminist masculinity reduce child abuse and
create greater closeness
between children and their fathers?
