“In the early 1990’s, political scientists, criminologists, and politicians such as Bill and Hillary Clinton issued statements predicting the arrival of the “juvenile superpredator.” Princeton professor John DiIulio claimed that the number of youths in custody would triple and that there would be “an estimated 270,000 more young predators on the streets than in 1990.” In his widely influential article, “The Coming of the Super-Predators,” published in The Weekly Standard in 1995, DiIulio implored policymakers to heed his and other academics’ call for interventions that could prevent society from degenerating into chaos. The core of his argument was based on little more than a coming demographic boom, particularly among male black youths. He reasoned that since there would be many more young boys in ten years, the number of violent crimes committed by youths would skyrocket: “It’s just that simple: More boys begets more bad boys.” pg 200-201
