The statistics that she found through a study of 200 AFDC case studies supported the assumption that the families she portrayed did represent typical
Many of the busts in the ghetto are drug-related, and Hilfiker notes that our society punishes petty drug offences far more severely than crimes committed by people who are wealthy.
