abstract="This essay powerfully describes the rise of a neoliberal or &quot;casino capitalism&quot; as a punishing state that has been largely ignored by the mainstream media but is actively resisted by young people around the world. I highlight the pervasive use of violence and the celebration of war-like values that are no longer restricted to a particular military ideology, but have become normalized throughout our entire society, especially in public schools that serve vulnerable student populations. I also portray how schools have become militarized and prison-like sites that criminalize the behavior of young people, particularly that of poor males, minorities, and immigrants. This imposition of violence on children constitutes the &quot;punishing of youth&quot; as the title alludes to, and depicts the substantial numbers of Latino children who move straight from a prison-like school to becoming inmates in the US's ever-increasing private, for-profit prison complex.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
