The Legacy of Benny Moreno and Edward Leiva: "Defective Delinquents" or Tragic Heroes? -- Epilogue: Recovering Youths' Voices -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis unique analysis of the rise of the juvenile justice system from the nineteenth to twentieth centuries uses one of the harshest states-California-as a case study for examining racism in the treatment of incarcerated young people of color. Using rich new untapped archives, States of Delinquency is the first book to explore the experiences of young Mexican Americans, African Americans, and ethnic Euro-Americans in California correctional facilities including Whittier State School for Boys and the Preston School of Industry. Miroslava Chávez-García examines the ideologies and practices used by state institutions as they began to replace families and communities in punishing youth, and explores the application of science and pseudo-scientific research in the disproportionate classification of youths of color as degenerate. She also shows how these boys and girls, and their families, resisted increasingly harsh treatment and various kinds of abuse, including sterilization.American CrossroadsCrime and race - California - HistoryCrime and race -- California -- HistoryEugenics - California - HistoryEugenics -- California -- HistoryJuvenile delinquents - California - HistoryJuvenile delinquents -- California -- HistoryJuvenile justice, Administration of - California - HistoryMinority youth - California - HistoryMinority youth -- California -- HistoryPreston School of Industry (Ione, Calif.)Preston School of Industry (Ione, Calif.)Whittier State School (Whittier, Calif.)Whittier State School (Whittier, Calif.)Juvenile justice, Administration ofHistoryCaliforniaMinority youthHistoryCaliforniaJuvenile delinquentsHistoryCaliforniaCrime and raceHistoryCaliforniaEugenicsHistoryCaliforniaSocial Welfare & Social WorkHILCCSocial SciencesHILCCCriminology, Penology & Juvenile DelinquencyHILCCElectronic books.Crime and race - California - History.Crime and race -- California -- History.Eugenics - California - History.Eugenics -- California -- History.Juvenile delinquents - California - History.Juvenile delinquents -- California -- History.Juvenile justice, Administration of - California - History.Minority youth - California - History.Minority youth -- California -- History.Preston School of Industry (Ione, Calif.).Preston School of Industry (Ione, Calif.).Whittier State School (Whittier, Calif.).Whittier State School (Whittier, Calif.).Juvenile justice, Administration ofHistoryMinority youthHistoryJuvenile delinquentsHistoryCrime and raceHistoryEugenicsHistorySocial Welfare & Social WorkSocial SciencesCriminology, Penology & Juvenile Delinquency364.3609794Chavez-Garcia Miroslava, authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1033956DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910457890203321States of Delinquency2452785UNINA
