Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Misha S. Lars CUNY Graduate Center /John Jay College of Criminal Justice 899 Tenth Avenue New York, New York 10019 mlars@gc.cuny.edu Kideste M. Wilder CUNY Graduate Center/John Jay College of Criminal Justice 899 Tenth Avenue New York, New York 10019 kwilder@jjay.cuny.edu References to concepts such as ‘culture of control’ and ‘punitive turn’ are often used to describe the dramatic shift in the manner in which criminal justice policies and practices evolved during the 1960s. The intense and tumultuous political and racial climate of this era was followed by an increasing reliance on ‘color-blind’ punitiveness as a response to the heightened awareness of the “consequences” associated with the great migration and the demand for civil rights, which inevitably situated issues of race, inequality, and social control at the forefront of the nation’s consciousness. Analogous to the criminal justice system, the child welfare system experienced a similarly punitive turn with the creation of the child protection system (CPS) and the resultant federal legislation. The present analysis provides a critical examination of the CPS as a coercive, punitive mechanism which disproportionately removes children from families in need, moving to terminate parental rights, thus freeing them to be adopted by more “suitable families”. Examining the intersection between these two systems, the authors argue that these increasingly punitive mechanisms have led to a disproportionate rate of incarceration and foster care placement, which have had a disparate impact on African American children, families, and communities.
