“…Even as we develop more effective and accessible intervention models, we must focus on prevention." Barron, 361 Clayton Gillette,362 and Richard Schragger, 363 as well as the more social justice-oriented approaches of John Powell, 364 Sheryll Cashin, 365 Keith Aoki, 366 Myron Orfield, 367 Michelle Wilde Anderson, 368 Laurie Reynolds, 369 and Chris Tyson. 370 My goal is not to lump these authors 371 together ideologically-some disagree with each other-but to show how structuralist approaches to the study of local power went beyond the practice of municipal law to broader questions of residential organization, regional inequities, and a deconstruction of local government functions.…”

Each year, psychological trauma arising from community and domestic violence, abuse, and neglect brings profound psychological, physiological, and academic harm to millions of American children, disproportionately poor children of color. This Article represents the first comprehensive legal analysis of the causes of and remedies for a crisis that can have lifelong and epigenetic consequences. Using civil rights and local government law, this Article argues that children's reactions to complex trauma represent the natural symptomatology of severe structural inequality-legally sanctioned environments of isolated, segregated poverty. The sources of psychological trauma may be largely environmental, but the traumatic environments themselves are caused by spatial inequality. This Article sets forth a theory of structural inequality that demonstrates the importance of place-based differences in institutional functioning and the role of such disparities in producing the neurobiological, psychological, and behavioral outcomes comprehensively described in the literature from those disciplines (including . As always, I thank my family for their patient support. All mistakes are mine. MARQUETTE LAW REVIEW[101:601the results of an original study of Newark, New Jersey school children). International analogies show how similarly human beings process traumatic events. This alternative legal analysis of child trauma compels a different remedial approach to both intervention and prevention. It argues that interventions like special education reform are necessary but problematic because they risk pathologizing the African American poor and exhausting institutional capacity. Instead, it provides a framework for prevention focused upon increasing mobility options and reforming local institutions.
