TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - "Anything Can Happen With Police Around": Urban Youth Evaluate Strategies of Surveillance in Public Places JO - Journal of Social Issues A1 - Fine, Michelle A1 - Freudenberg, Nicholas A1 - Payne, Yasser A1 - Perkins, Tiffany A1 - Smith, Kersha A1 - Wanzer, Katya SP - 141 EP - 158 VL - 59 IS - 1 N2 - In order to document urban youth experiences of adults in positions of public authority, including police, educators, social workers and guards, a broad based street survey of 911 New York City-based urban youth was conducted in which youth, stratified by race, ethnicity, gender and borough, were asked about their experiences with, attitudes toward, and trust of adult surveillance in communities and in schools. In-depth telephone interviews were conducted with 36 youth who have experienced serious, adverse interactions with police, guards, or educators. Findings suggest that urban youth, overall, express a strong sense of betrayal by adults and report feeling mistrusted by adults, with young men of color most likely to report these perceptions.
