Because poverty affects women of color (Black, Indigenous, Latin American, Asian) more than white women, this reality ends up affecting poor women of color disproportionately, which explains why they are overrepresented in the criminal justice system.

1 Module VII | Celling Black, Indigenous, & Latina Women Discussion Forum (100 points) and Video Comment (100 points) Due on Sun May 10, 11:59pm In her masterpiece Black Feminist Thought, Patricia Hill Collins (2002) introduces the notion of intersecting oppressions: race, gender, sexuality, and nation work together to produce social injustice at a certain point in history. In other words, “oppression cannot be reduced to one fundamental type” (21) such as for instance, capitalist exploitation or white supremacy. Hegemony, that is, the power relations that are predominant in society, and the ideologies that support them, is maintained through the joint effect of a variety of social structures. This way, whereas some sociological studies focus on only one structure of oppression, Collins argue that the economic, political, and ideological dimensions of oppression function as an integrated system. Centering on or prioritizing one certain dimension would bias the result, neglecting pieces of information that are essential to understand the root causes of social injustice. This way, if we were to analyze oppression in a specific case, it would not be sufficient to focus only on one social structure, for instance, social class. The analysis would have to first identify each social structure intervening to produce a hierarchical relation -e.g. the capitalist system, white supremacist ideologies, patriarchal culture, compulsory heterosexuality (that is, the idea that heterosexuality is the norm and non-heterosexual identities are deviant cases) and so forth. Subsequently, the researcher would have to unveil how these structures interact with each other to produce or reproduce a certain status quo, at a specific moment in history. Through the notion of intersecting oppressions, it is possible to fully appreciate Sudbury’s contribution to our understanding of what she calls “the global boom in women’s imprisonment” (2005:3), that is, her explanation of the reasons behind the global increase in the rate of female imprisonment (which has been expanding faster than the rate of male imprisonment), and the consolidation of the “prison industrial complex,” defined by Sudbury as: the “symbiotic and profitable relationship between politicians, corporations, the media and state correctional institutions that generates the racialized use of incarceration as a response to social problems rooted in the globalization of capital” (165-6). In other words, Sudbury argues that the prison system is a byproduct of globalization. To justify her perspective, two arguments are provided. One, as we studied in Module V, the beginning of mass incarceration is to be found in the suppression of the social movements that in the 60s and 70s were fighting against the socioeconomic imbalances brought about by economic exploitation, and free trade agreements, in a context of major cuts in the federal funding for social welfare programs (mainly in critical infrastructure, housing, education, and health, etc.): “criminalization therefore became the weapon of choice in dealing with the social problems caused by the globalization of capital and the protest it engendered” (166). Module VII | Celling Black, Indigenous, & Latina Women 2 Secondly, according to Sudbury, the social inequality that is bolstered by globalization pushes poor women towards the drug markets. Because poverty affects women of color (Black, Indigenous, Latin American, Asian) more than white women, this reality ends up affecting poor women of color disproportionately, which explains why they are overrepresented in the criminal justice system. In brief: “the crisis of women’s prisons can therefore be read as a crisis for black women and women of color worldwide” (164). For instance, some poor women of color get involved with the illicit drugs commerce through coercive and violent partners, or because they feel trapped by the overwhelming responsibilities of being the sole caregivers of their children. Going back to Collins’ notion of intersecting oppressions, it could be argued that the expansive incarceration rates of women worldwide is the product of the joint workings of capitalist oppression, gender relations, and racial structures: “Black women and women of color are the raw material that fuel the prison industrial complex” (Sudbury 2005:176). Assignment VII is divided in two parts: 1) Discussion Forum Celling Black, Indigenous, and Latina Women (100 points): For this component, read Sudbury’s article, and explain in depth what your understanding of the following quote is, using the notion of intersecting oppressions (350 words): Prisons serve a vital role in suppressing dissent and invisibilizing disenfranchised populations. They therefore maintain the viability of corporate globalization and mask its devastating effects on global majority communities. Prisons also play a direct role in capital accumulation since their operation generates profit for corporations engaged in building, equipping and operating them as well as those employing prisoners as cheap labour. Increasingly, black women and women of colour are the raw material that fuel the prison industrial complex: as scapegoats of tough-on-crime rhetoric; targets of drug busting operations that generate millions for police, customs and military budgets; or workers sewing and assembling electronics in prison workshops. There is a need for a new anti-racist feminism that will explore how the complex matrix of race, class, gender and nationality meshes with contemporary globalized geo-political and economic realities. (177) Remember that the answers to the Discussion Forums will follow an academic format, as in a brief academic essay. This includes citations in ASA Style as in: (Sudbury 2005:177), and also, an introduction and a conclusion. Reviewing the Rubric that is used for grading discussion forums before drafting an answer, is highly recommended.

Review the article by Dorothy Roberts Punishing Drug Addicts Who Have Babies (which you read for Module V), and also the article No Alternative by Santos and Briones (Module VII).

According to the Legislative Counsel’s Digest, the Bill ‘would establish the Genetic Information Privacy Act, which would prohibit a direct-to-consumer genetic testing services company from disclosing a person’s genetic information to a third party without obtaining the person’s prior written consent’.*How is genetic information protected in Australia?

Question: A Bill regulating use of genetic information has been introduced to the California Senate (USA). According to the Legislative Counsel’s Digest, the Bill ‘would establish the Genetic Information Privacy Act, which would prohibit a direct-to-consumer genetic testing services company from disclosing a person’s genetic information to a third party without obtaining the person’s prior written consent’.*How is genetic information protected in Australia? Should Australia introduce legislation similar to that proposed in California? If not, why not?This is the link to the Californian legislation: http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB980 Good starting point: http://www.shelstonip.com/news/gene-patent-dichotomy-us-australia/ Ive attached some papers that speak on a similar topic, feel free to use them for ideas – thank you!! 🙂

How can we as a society do better to ensure people are willingly either invoking or waiving their rights?

Let’s make this personal by putting you in the hot seat.You are a 20-year-old college freshman. You just left a party at two o’clock in the morning. At the party, you drank four beers and smoked two marijuana joints. As you are driving home, you feel “buzzed, but not drunk.” A police officer stops you and states that he witnessed you driving erratically. The police officer asks you if you have had any alcohol to drink and you state that you are not drunk, but drank one or two beers in the afternoon.Based on your behavior and statements, the police officer arrests you and then tells you that you need to submit to a breath test. The breath test taken five hours after the arrest indicates that your blood alcohol level is just under the legal limit. Not satisfied with the breath test results, the police officer continues his interrogation.During this interrogation, you admit that you consumed four beers and smoked two marijuana joints within an hour of your arrest. Based on your statements, the police officer charges you with driving while intoxicated (a misdemeanor offense). At no time during the arrest and interrogation does the police officer provide you with your Miranda rights.Because you aspire to attend law school, you decide to fight the charges. At the trial, you argue that the police officer violated Miranda’s clear directives. In response, the prosecutor argues that you made all of your statements voluntarily and not under duress. Additionally, the prosecutor argues that Miranda rights do not extend to misdemeanor crimes.1. How do you think that the judge will rule on your motion? When answering this question, please review the summary of the Berghuis v. Thompkins ( https://www.oyez.org/cases/2009/08-1470) where the Supreme Court considered the position of a suspect who understands his or her right to remain silent under Miranda v. Arizona and is aware he or she has the right to remain silent, but does not explicitly invoke or waive the right. How does this case and/ or other relevant case law impact the judge’s ruling on your motion? 2. Note that it is estimated that about 75% of suspects routinely waive their Miranda rights and talk to the police.1 Do you believe that this suspects are willingly waiving their rights with a full understanding of the rights they are waiving? Why or why not? How can we as a society do better to ensure people are willingly either invoking or waiving their rights? How can we assist law enforcement in their work in doing so? 1 Richard A. Leo, “The Impact of Miranda Revisited,” 86 J. Crim. L. & Criminology 621, 653 (1996).Please note that your answers have nothing to do with your personal feelings, thoughts or experiences with these issues. Your answers are based purely on the law, specifically precedent set by case law. Reviewing the week 6 lesson will be very helpful to you in finding relevant case law.
