Super Predators Narrative, Robert Sandifer Case Study

The "super predator" narrative of the 1990s is examined through the lens of criminologists like John DiIulio and the tragic case of 11-year-old Robert "Yummy" Sandifer. Sandifer, a Chicago gang member, was murdered by his own associates, sparking national fear about a coming wave of "stone-cold predators." The segment explores how this terminology was used by politicians like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden to justify aggressive crime legislation.
