In a sense, the discrimination against African Americans is related to economic stratification. In the 17th century colonial Virginia, the concept of race was adopted and used as a justification for social classification for groups of people. This was a result of a violent uprising known as Bacon's Rebellion in which lower class African and Europeans both who were denied land holdings in the Virginia frontier. The rebellion was so destructive that the Virginian governing body set in place strict segregation between Africans and Europeans in a way to prevent them from collectively joining forces again to create another violent uprising. Since then, those of African have gradually lost certain rights and liberties in comparison to their Caucasian counterparts, to the imminent point in which Africans were nearly all reduced to the role of slaves. Even after the abolition of slavery, those of African descent were continuously denied abilities to obtain better economic and financial assets by a southern states that were still upset of losing their right to own slaves. This is evident by sharecropping being used as a way to keep African Americans on estates to work off for their freedom, as well as terroristic tactics used by the Ku Klux Klan, as well as forms of institutional racism that barred African Americans from the same working establishments as White Americans. In various ways, economic stratification has been a tool for discriminating African Americans throughout American history.<span />

What type of outcomes does prison represent (positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, positive punishment, negative punis
Luden [163]

Answer:

negative punishment

Explanation:

Punishment  (positive or negative) decreases the chances that a particular behavioral reoccurs.

Handing a prison sentence to anyone that offends the laws of the state is an example of negative punishment based on available research. This is because, serving a prison sentence makes it more likely that the convict will commit the same crime again.

While many experts in criminal justice have observed that many ex-convicts tend to re-offend, the principles of positive punishment for convicts have been set out by Peter B. Wood in his paper titled "Exploring the Positive Punishment Effect Among Incarcerated Adult Offenders

"; American Journal of Criminal Justice 31(2):8-22; 2007; .

In his submission;

<em> "As the U.S. has pursued a policy of mass imprisonment for nearly  three decades, now boasts the highest incarceration rate in the world and returns  nearly 800,000 ex-convicts into our communities each year, more attention to this  issue is called for-particularly since it could be argued that, for many offenders,  criminal justice punishments promote future offending."</em>
