Crime and Justice
Social Class and Crime
Why are street crimes committed by poor and working class people defined as crimes while corporate crimes committed by the wealthy are not defined as crimes even though they cause greater harm to society, including harm to human health such as knowingly producing and profiting from cancer-causing chemicals and highly-addictive opioids?
Note: In the video, “The Corporation,” a CEO says, “If I shoot you, it is a crime. But if I knowingly expose you to chemicals that will give you cancer, it takes longer to kill you, but what is the difference?”
The corporation, Purdue Pharma (owned by the Sackler family), that made Oxycontin marketed it to doctors as “less additive,” knowing it was highly additive, made billions while tens of thousands of people became addicted and died from overdose.
How is crime defined by the powerful and wealthy? How do they benefit from the definition of crime as street crime but not corporate crime?

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/14/upshot/killings-of-blacks-by-whites-are-far-more-likely-t o-be-ruled-justifiable.html

No white man has been executed for a crime against a black person since 1752.
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/09/opinion/louisianas-color-coded-death-penalty.html (Links to an external site.)
How is the fact that black men much more likely to be on death row for killing a white person than killing a black person a form of institutional racism?
Why are no white men who kill a black person on death row?

Read the study, “Triple Entitlement and Homicidal Anger: An Exploration of the Intersectional Identities of American Mass Murderers,” and why most are heterosexual middle class white teens and men:

How does downward mobility in class or status, losing a job, rejection by a woman, losing money, etc., affect their sense of entitlement and high expectations?

Read this excerpt from bell hooks,Feminism is for Everybody, about how domestic violence is created by patriarchy.
bell hooks, a black feminist, refers to domestic violence as patriarchal violencebecause it is based on men’s power over women and children through violence. She writes:
“Patriarchal violence in the home is based on the belief that it is acceptable for a more powerful individual to control other through various forms of coercive force. This expanded definition of domestic violence includes male violence against women, same-sex violence, and adult violence against children. The term patriarchal violence is useful because…it continually reminds the listener that violence in the home is connected to sexism and sexist thinking, to male domination…more women are beaten and murdered in the home than on the outside….much patriarchal violence is directed at children by sexist women and men.” [p.
61-2]

The Progressive Plan to Solve Social Problems
The progressive plan approaches the solution to social problems.
The progressive plan would build a strong safety net by increasing unemployment benefits, paid family leave, food stamps, Aid to Families with Dependent Children, Head Start, and Social Security, and Medicare.
It would replace brutal capitalism with democratic socialism in which the government provides universal health care, subsidized child care, good public education, food security, affordable housing, and a living wage.
A New New Deal for the Pandemic Recession
The New Deal created Social Security and the WPS, a jobs and infrastructure-building program, that brought the United States out of the Great Depression.
