Description
Juvenile delinquency is critically mediated by the intersection of race, space and education's place. This paper explores the centrality of race, space and education's central place in creating/reproducing juvenile delinquency, or fostering agency-laden education in areas of spatially and racially concentrated neighborhood disadvantage. My main focus is the extent to which education creates/reproduces juvenile delinquency or fosters agency among young people. My goals is to explore how juvenile delinquency can be decreased through improving educational systems in these communities. To this end, I explore the literature on juvenile delinquency, questions of agency and social struggles over education.
