Abstract
Associating state-sanctioned violence with health is not a far stretch in seeing how broadly its consequences unfold in cities and among people of color across the lifespan, including the institutions serving them. It is not a leap to think of health rights as civil rights, or to think of state violence in a similar fashion. Social workers understand how race and health unfold and why a state violence stance helps provide a more comprehensive understanding of how it unfolds in the lives of people of color and the reasons for health disparities. It is arduous to do justice to this chapter because of the abundance of statistics and scholarly material on this subject, which attests to its importance, with the further introduction of health and those who are incarcerated seeking to obtain asylum in this country.
