My research paper will be about the criminalization of
poverty, with sub themes focusing on gender roles and race. The 2 sub themes I
think tie into the main topic since race and gender can play a role when it
come to criminalization of people in poverty. This is an issue since some of
the people placed in poverty might have never had a choice when it comes to
being in poverty. Someone should not be seen differently based on their income
and it sickens me that someone can be judged for this reason. Inflation, taxes,
and geographical areas are some theories that apply to this topic and there are
many more that will be in my paper.
