The latest episode of the Louder Than Words Podcast shines a light on inequality. What happens to people who end up at the wrong end of an unequal society and how do we help them? Professor Jules Pretty and Martha Dixon will look at research taking the long view and find out how history can help us break cycles of poverty and deprivation. They will also look at simple solutions which seek to narrow the gap. They will be joined by: Professor Pam Cox, Head of the Department of Sociology at Essex. She contrasts the experiences of young people now emerging from the criminal justice system with those in similar positions in the past. She also raises questions about social justice and inequality in other areas. Professor Lucy Noakes, from the Department of History at Essex. She talks about how the Second World War exposed inequalities and contrasts it with attitudes and political solutions emerging in the aftermath of COVID-19. How do we build back better, if we don’t really understand the past? Dr Alexandra Cox, from the Department of Sociology at Essex, talks about her research on how children are criminalised and how inequality is so ingrained within the youth justice system. Tom Brown, from the Green Light Trust in Suffolk, discusses its work with people who are marginalised and the trust's efforts to deal with inequality by providing access to nature and green space. Stephen Whitehead, from the Centre for Justice Innovation, talks about research on racial inequality with the University of Essex and highlights how young people need to be steered away from the criminal justice system to improve their life chances.

An estimated 2.1 million youth under the age of 18 are arrested in the United States every year. Although the overall rate of youth involved in the juvenile justice system has declined in recent years, more than 1 million cases flow through juvenile courts annually. Today, we focus our attention on learning more about juvenile delinquency and justice by interviewing Dr. Alexandra Cox, a criminologist, lecturer at the University of Essex, and author of Trapped in a Vice: the Consequences of Confinement for Young People. We begin the interview by discussing the history of juvenile justice in the US (21:20), common misconceptions about the juvenile justice system (25:45), and the most pressing issues facing youth in the system (29:00). We then tackle the intersection of race, class, and gender in juvenile justice (32:45) and the school-to-prison pipeline (36:40). We then have a conversation about key takeaways from the book (39:19), possibilities for reforming the juvenile justice system (43:15), and how we can all impact change locally (51:03).   Other Topics Include: 00:30 - Catch up with Ty and Daphne 02:40 - BhD “Oh Lawd” News Segment 14:15 - Introduction of Segment   17:30 - Learn more about Dr. Alexandra Cox 53:55 - Immigration Detention Centers 56:08 - Ty and Daphne Reflect on the Interview   Resources: Dr. Alexandra Cox faculty page - https://www.essex.ac.uk/people/coxal19809/alexandra-cox Dr. Cox Twitter - @juvyjustchange Trapped in a Vice: the Consequences of Confinement for Young People - https://www.trappedinavice.com Kalief Browder 1993-2015 - https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/kalief-browder-1993-2015 Kalief Browder Documentary - https://www.netflix.com/title/80187052

How does the juvenile justice system impact the lives of the young people that go through it? In her new book, Trapped in a Vice: The Consequences of Confinement for Young People (Rutgers University Press, 2018), Alexandra Cox uses interviews and ethnographic data to analyze the juvenile justice system and incarceration. While the book focuses specifically on New York's justice system, the take-aways and Cox's analyses are relevant for anyone interested in incarceration in general. Using the voices and experiences of those she interviews to articulate her findings, Cox points out that young people often suffer the most in systems of social inequality. She elaborates clearly on concepts and main take-aways through the book, from the idea that these young people are expected to mature within an institution, and how this impacts their development. Cox uses really powerful examples and pinpoints important concepts for us to think further about: the definition of worthiness (i.e. worthy of “saving”), being ungovernable (i.e. being uncontrollable), the idea of reformation systems as taking care of “other people's children,” and the ethos of personal responsibly to youth who cannot even vote yet. The stories from the book show how it's easy to get into trouble and very difficult to get out. This book will be enjoyed by Sociologists and Criminologists in general, but also by social workers, those working in the area of incarceration, in addition to anyone interested in developmental psychology within the context of incarceration. This book would be a great addition to any higher level undergraduate or entry level graduate course in criminology because of its clear organization and presentation of arguments. Sarah E.
