Human Targets: Schools, Police, and the Criminalization of Latino Youth Paperback – Illustrated, March 8, 2017
To be a poor Latino youth is to be a human target—victimized and considered an enemy by others, viewed as a threat to law enforcement and schools, and burdened by stigma, disrepute, and punishment.

Hispanic American Studies Editorial Review

**** "Human Targets: Schools, Police, and the Criminalization of Latino Youth" presents a compelling and nuanced analysis of the systemic issues Latino youth face within educational and law enforcement frameworks. The author, Victor Rios, draws from his own experiences and research to illuminate the punitive measures that often target this demographic, shaping their identities and contributing to a cycle of failure. The work is particularly impactful for educators, as it challenges traditional narratives and invites critical reflection on how schools and police can better support, rather than hinder, student success. While many readers laud the book for its insightful perspective and significant contributions to discussions around youth criminalization, some critiques focus on the author's perceived biases and the depth of his research conclusions. A recurring theme is the duality of Rios’s message: he acknowledges the challenges youth face and the harsh expectations placed upon them while also illustrating how a supportive environment can pave the way for their success. Overall, "Human Targets" is deemed a necessary read, especially for those in education and policy-making roles, although it may polarize opinions based on its delivery and the author's personal lens. **
