摘要：

One of the most salient effects of racial discrimination in the USA is the criminalization of youth of color (YOC). Using a deductive approach to evaluate Rios’s hypercriminalization theory, this study analyzes 79 human service and juvenile justice practitioners’ professional experiences with witnessing the criminalization of YOC. The results of a priori coding revealed that criminalization is a baseline experience for YOC that occurs in a variety of social settings, and it is linked to the disproportionate contact of YOC with the juvenile justice system. Practitioners reported that criminalization also impacted YOC’s self-concept and contributed to their development of destructive attitudes. The study concludes with suggestions for future research and recommendations for combatting the criminalization of YOC in professional work settings. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.
