Wright Mills Book Award presented by the Study of Social Problems Victor Rios grew up in the ghetto of Oakland, California in the 1980s and 90s. A former gang member and juvenile delinquent, Rios managed to escape the bleak outcome of many of his friends and earned a PhD at Berkeley and returned to his hometown to study how inner city young Latino and African American boys develop their sense of self in the midst of crime and intense policing. Punished examines the difficult lives of these young men, who now face punitive policies in their schools, communities, and a world where they are constantly policed and stigmatized. Rios followed a group of forty delinquent Black and Latino boys for three years. These boys found themselves in a vicious cycle, caught in a spiral of punishment and incarceration as they were harassed, profiled, watched, and disciplined at young ages, even before they had committed any crimes, eventually leading many of them to fulfill the destiny expected of them. But beyond a fatalistic account of these marginalized young men, Rios finds that the very system that criminalizes them and limits their opportunities, sparks resistance and a raised consciousness that motivates some to transform their lives and become productive citizens. Ultimately, he argues that by understanding the lives of the young men who are criminalized and pipelined through the criminal justice system, we can begin to develop empathic solutions which support these young men in their development and to eliminate the culture of punishment that has become an overbearing part of their everyday lives.

Such an amazing book. Victor Rios brings to light the challenges that marginalized youth face in urban areas. Challenges.. that crush these kids sense of self worth and any hope of achieving a life outside of crime. His research follows the lives of 40 boys in the gang infested areas of Oakland, California. He exposes a debilitating punitive system that places unjust discriminating stigmas on these boys at a very young age. In most cases.. prior to them ever having any involvement with crime. In fact several had never actually committed crimes but were treated as if they had.. simply by association due to circumstances beyond their control or because of how they looked. Behaviors commonly seen as that of a normal adolescent are instead interpreted as criminal behavior resulting in harsh punishments and berating by authority figures involved in the daily lives of these kids. Thus beginning the process of breaking down the potential for these boys to ever succeed in having a "normal" life in society. A life where they have the same rights as others to go to school, vote or simply obtain a job. When everywhere they turn they are faced with condemnation even when they are attempting to do the "right" thing determined by mainstream society or are being provoked to the point of having the primal response of retaliating to obtain the slightest sense of control over their fate... Dr. Rios tells how these boys while feeling broken and devalued.. become determined to have a sense of empowerment and belonging... and develop their own (many times detrimental) methods to obtaining some dignity as human beings or as "a man" even if it means giving up their chances to live in a free society. I say "primal response" because after reading the many stories of the unwarranted treatment of these kids.. I can't help but picture in my mind a scene of a dog being beaten by it's owner who out of desperation eventually attempts to bite back only to be faced with more brutality.Dr. Rios proposes an alternative system called the "Youth Support Complex". Unlike the criminal justice system called the "Youth Control Complex" currently in place that criminalizes marginalized youth and sets them on a path to a life of incarceration.. his program sets out to promote compassion and understanding for these youth to help improve the quality of their lives and support their reintegration back into society as productive citizens.It is a must read for all who are involved in the daily lives of our youth. Hopefully it will promote compassion and a deeper look into the individual child and his/her circumstances.
In Punished: Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys, by Victor Rios, the author conducts a field research examining the system of punitive social control that is developed in Oakland, California. In his research, he uses a method known as esthonography, the study of individuals through direct participation in there home-setting, but can also be described as shadowing, and observes 40 “at-risk†criminalized and marginalized youths in Oakland, California over the course of 3 years so that he can come to an understanding of the lives of Black and Latino boys. His goal is to “show the the failures of criminalization, the failures of using harshm stigmatizing, and humiliating forms of punishment to “correct†and “manage†marginalized youths, as well as to highlight the consequences that these methods have on young peoples trajectories.†(Rios 23). Throughout his research he uses the micro sociology approach. In this approach, he conducts many interviews and builds trust with the youths because without it the data he was collecting would not have been true or valid. The interviews helped Rios hear the youth’s side of the story and how they felt when they would receive the punishment or also known as the youth control complex; a term Rios created. The youth complex system is the conceptual framework for understanding the system of punishment that Rios came across when analyzing the everyday and institutional aspects of criminalization. Rios examines the significance that defiance and resistant have for inner-city boys. Resistant contradicts the idea that young Black and Latino men reject mainstream values and prefer to embrace the streets rather than try and improve. Many times, the authorities tried to help the youths but every time they did, the youths took it in a negative way and continued to do so in every situation encountered. For example, in the story of The Probation Officer, the officer would attempt to just say a simple hello but instead of saying hello back or an easy nice response, the youth would instead taunt and curse towards the officer. The youth would purposely make things worse by being defiant and by doing this only made the situation worse for the youth. Personally, I believe that his method and experiment he created was valid enough to say that in order to help someone you have to go to the core. You have to make an effort to understanding where they are coming from and what caused them to take action in what they did. It could all be because of living style, family, friends, area of living, etc. All these different factors can lead to the reason of negative choices. I also believe that Rios is valid when is comes to authority because since he was a former gang member and lived the same life style as the new generation of young men he could truly relate to them and get an understanding of where they are coming from and he can help them. Even though he didn't let his personal opinion or experience effect his judgment and assessment of his research, he never rationalized his data to one side so i believe that is why he is a valid source overall. To bring in conclusion, i believe that everyone can be helped if we took the time to truly understand and to listen. Often times criminalized youths are automatically judged and are never given the opportunity to speak out on their stories or since they get shut down they get the mindset of theres no hope so they give up. Often times, people involved in any type of crime end up getting help so that they can be better but the only way it can “work†to help the person is to understand the cause of their actions and from then on we can begin to develop solutions to help the person. The author and his research that he came up with goes to show that if people took the time to help and understand that we can help people around us by creating solutions.
I returned this one after reading 10%. The idea of reading a book my a man who grew up in Oakland gangs and became a PHD as an adult was_very_appealing. Once I started reading it, I couldn't have been more disappointed. If you are curious about this book from a sociology perspective, you might enjoy it. If like me, you were interested in immersive journalism and an educated perspective on a sub culture, go read " Why Do We Kill?: The Pathology of Murder in Baltimore ".
Wonderful book! Does an excellent job of digging deep into the lives of youth in Oakland and gives an amazing account of their daily struggles. Rios masterfully explains how the youth in Oakland (and the US more broadly) are increasingly surrounded with police-like institutions which severely damage their opportunities for success. I would definitely recommend the book for anyone who wants to have a better understanding of youth and what we might be able to do to alleviate the problems they face.
Rios offers a valuable collection of stories of the Black and Latino/a youth in the Oakland area. Punished is the story of his graduate work, shadowing students who were at high risk, criminalized and paroled. His dissection and illustration of the criminalization of colored and minority youth is well researched and very well written. This is an easy read and often hard to put down.
