In this episode, we explore the complex intersection of race, poverty, and juvenile delinquency. We examine the disproportionate representation of marginalized communities, particularly Black and Hispanic youth, within the juvenile justice system. Through interviews with social scientists and case studies, we delve into the systemic inequalities, biases, and socioeconomic factors that contribute to this disparity, and discuss the ongoing efforts to address these issues and promote more equitable outcomes for young offenders.
