Sumario: | Most criminal justice research on African Americans focuses on poor Blacks living in poor Black communities. Hassett-Walker expands this focus to middle class Blacks and empirically tests an assertion from Pattillo-McCoy (1999)'s Black Picket Fences--that little difference in delinquency exists between poor versus middle class Black youth.
