Thats what I remember the most; those hash marks recalls Geno Whitehall, an officer at San Quentin State Prison in California.

We looked through our WJIN database and didn't find anything of particular interest. A web search turned up a large number of newspaper articles, and one research study surrounding the predictors of neighborhood looting using the 1977 New York City blackout as a backdrop.

This article traces the course of a series of moral panics over the banding together, group identification and collective action of certain groups of young people - mainly young men - in and around some mass sporting events in New South Wales, Australia, in 2001-4. It could be a story of football hooliganism, except that the sport is not football (or soccer, as it is known in Australia), but rugby league. That such collective behaviour had been relatively unknown in this sporting milieu in Australia provided the opportunity for the racialized othering of those labelled as deviant, in the context of the construction of the Arab Other (and later the Muslim Other) as the pre-eminent folk demon of contemporary Australia.

Alternatives to the Secure Detention and Confinement of Juvenile Offenders This OJJDP Bulletin recommends developing objective, valid, and reliable tools to make placement decisions among alternative programs and expanding the existing range of alternatives for juvenile offenders. According to this Juvenile Justice Practice Series Bulletin, secure detention and confinement should be an option of last resort only for serious, violent, and chronic offenders and for those who repeatedly fail to appear for scheduled court dates and are almost never appropriate for status offenders and certain other small groups of offenders. It is the large group of offenders who fall in the middle in terms of the seriousness of their crimes that prove challenging to the juvenile justice system. (NCJ 208804)
