The Social Organization of Access to Justice for Youth in ‘Unsafe’ Urban Neighbourhoods
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Drawing on the feminist sociological approach, institutional ethnography, this article reveals how young people in a designated neighbourhood improvement area in Toronto, Canada, experience reduced access to justice. Young people’s stories about their interactions with the police in their neighbourhood ground an analysis of the dispersal of justice in large urban centres as shaped by and constitutive of the social relations of race, gender and class. While the research proceeds from young people’s knowledge of their work and lives, the foci of analysis are the objectified forms of thought and action that produce the individual accounts young people share. The research finds that young people’s experiences of diminished relational fairness in their encounters with the police reduce the degree to which they expect full and equal access to other juridical and administrative public institutions and processes. Ultimately, the state’s efforts to produce and manage public safety, as a bureaucratic phenomenon, undermines embodied experiences of safety and access to justice for young people who live in economically disadvantaged and racialized urban neighbourhoods.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
