GSMD05The whole idea of misrecognition only demonstrates how the criminalization of these boys is not the answer to solving crime. When criminalized, the boys are stripped of the opportunity to learn many social norms and values, which can lead them to act in a way that they think is right but could be interpreted badly by others. It creates an endless loop, where the boys are criminalized, behave in ways that they think is right but really isn't, and are criminalized again for this behavior. #so345
@GSMD05 What stuck out to me was the example of Ronny and how he was taught different norms than the rest of society and was punished for them. He thought he was doing the right thing, yet the interviewer did not and he was punished. This appears to be recognized as a problem in the community yet no one is doing anything about this. They are being criminalized for things that they don't even know are wrong yet at the end of the day it's no one's fault but their own in the eyes of the law.#so345
KC_194@klg20 @GSMD05 I think this is important, but it's not necessarily that they are learning different norms, it's that when presented with conflicting norms, they prioritize ones that they believe will incriminate them less. However, frustrations arise when their best efforts aren't food enough #so345
