A term used to refer to dangerous youth in which rehabilitation seemed improbable. The term is considered a racist term as it was used almost exclusively in regard to African American youth.
"They're not just gangs of kids anymore, they are often the kinds of kids that are called Superpredators. No conscience, no empathy. We can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we must bring them to heel." - Hillary Clinton 1996

SuperPredator(noun): A youth who repeatedly commits violent crimes as a result of being raised without morals. Also the term, "superpredators" was famously used by Hillary Rodham Clinton in describing troubled Black youths as Gangs of kids are "super predators" with "no conscience, no empathy" in the effort to get the crime bill, which resulted in the mass incarceration of blacks.
