About Paper:

This study examines the impact of racial disparities in drug-related incarceration on family dynamics and community structures, focusing on Black and White men. By comparing the experiences of incarcerated Black and White men, the research highlights how racial differences in sentencing, arrest rates, and incarceration contribute to profound disruptions in family relationships and community cohesion. The study explores how the incarceration of Black men worsens existing social inequalities, further marginalizing families and communities that are already disadvantaged. Additionally, it investigates how these racial disparities reinforce harmful stereotypes and societal perceptions of Black men as more criminalized than their White counterparts. Through qualitative and quantitative analysis, this research reflects the broader social implications of racialized drug policies and their long-lasting effects on family stability, community resilience, and racial justice. The findings underscore the need for comprehensive reforms in drug-related sentencing and incarceration practices to mitigate the disproportionate impact on Black families and communities.
