4. In the mid-1990s, then Princeton Professor John Dilulio described young offenders supposedly resistant to rehabilitation as “super-predators.” “They are remorseless,” he said. “They lack empathic impulses; they kill or maim or get involved in other forms of serious crime without much consideration of future penalties.” “They’ also seem to be overwhelmingly black,” The Guardian London quipped, quoting Baltimore public defender David Addison: “If they’re white, they are more likely to be sent for treatment. If they’re black, they are more likely to go to a correctional facility.”
