and Men of Color?
Why Focus on BMOC?


Gross disparities in particular negative outcomes: Violence victimization and offending,
crime and incarceration.

Males of color are showing negative or stagnant trends in key opportunity outcomes
relative to females: Employment and Earnings, High school graduation, college
enrollment and completion

A vicious cycle of intergenerational male disadvantage: Single parent families are
significantly more damaging to male educational outcomes than females.

Mass Incarceration and Declining
Employment and Earnings
Rise of Mass Criminalization

Imprisonment increased by 430 percent
between 1973 and 2010 largely because of
changes in policy that increased prison
admissions and sentence lengths,
particularly for drugs in the 1980s (Travis and
Declining
Employment
and Earnings
Western, 2014)

Felony conviction and/or imprisonment
reduces lifetime earnings and employment
by 10-30 percent. (Travis and Western, 2014)

The explosion in the market for crack
cocaine in the 1980s increased withdrawal
from high school and the labor force,
particularly among black males. Together
cocaine, heroin, marijuana and meth
comprised a $109 billion industry in 2010.

Father’s Education Matters a Lot for Boys
A
father who graduates from high school reduces juvenile
delinquency for boys, but not for girls (Kalb and Williams, 2003)
 Boys
are less likely to complete college than their sisters if
their father is absent or less-educated than their mother
(Buchman and Diprete, 2006)

Father’s Incarceration Impacts Boys More Negatively than Girls
 Boys
are twice as likely as girls to show an increase in
aggressive behavior when their fathers are incarcerated

Father’s Life Course
While these are later life course
interventions, they have early life
course implications for the next
generation.
Roughly 65% of black
and Latino fathers have
their first child before age
25. By age 30, roughly
85% of these fathers have
had their first child. These
fathers have 2 or fewer
kids on average less than
5 years apart. Thus, by
age 35, most of the next
generation has been
born. [Martinez et al,

Key Takeaways from the life course
framework
44
 The
vicious intergenerational cycle described is not inevitable,
but rather is the product of both policy decisions and structural
forces: At every step, policy and resource decisions were and are
being made that can either amplify or dampen the impact of
big, impersonal forces like structural shifts in the economy
this vicious cycle requires a “two-generation
approach” that involves both : 1) changing conditions in which
BMOC find themselves through policy and systems change; as
well as 2) helping BMOC be more resilient to bad conditions
through programmatic interventions
 Interrupting
Key Takeaways from the life course
framework
45
 It’s
unlikely that we can interrupt this intergenerational cycle
without directly addressing employment and earnings and mass
criminalization among men of color – in both generations
 Education
outcomes are crucial – the protective effect of
educational attainment for negative life outcomes is profound
 Place
matters and the impact of living in neighborhoods of
concentrated disadvantage must be addressed in gender
specific ways.
 Changing
approach
population-level outcomes requires a life-course
