Ghettotisement

noun.
The governmental media driven advertisement of ghetto life as a cool,fulfilling lifestyle choice.It uses the most effective forms of advertisement;movies, music and fashion and the purpose is not only to normalize the inhumane and cruel state of poverty but to glamourize it.Treating the ghetto as a product instead of as a social ill has created a fascination and desire in many to waste their lives in circumstances that were previously viewed as abhorrent like living under constant threats of violence,hunger,dilapidated housing,being silenced by fear and police brutality.Ghettotisment encourages people to make poor choices such as forgoing an education in favor of gang-life.It promotes loyalty to gang brothers but rejects meaningful romantic relationships.The bros before hos credo have young men embracing their brother and prostituting their women.Pimping, sexual and physical abuse and misuse of women are made to appear daring and sexy.Uncontrolled rage and violence,thuggery,car-jacking,armed robbery are stuff that makes a hero.Prison time has turned into the standard boy-to-man right of passage.Millions of innocent people are lured into criminal controlled neighborhoods fraught with cop-killers, recalcitrants,extortionists and gangs that prey on them. Rioting,looting,domestic terrorism and immoral codes of conduct are aplauded.Murder is commonplace.Ghettotisement creates mass acceptance of criminal militia forces controlling vast sections of cities.

Ghettofication

The opposite of "gentrification." Disinvestment and the creation of deteriorated property caused by lower-income people slowly taking over and moving in to middle-class neighborhoods resulting in the flight of the former wealthier inhabitants.
In Detroit, a large proportion of ghettofied housing was originally built for middle and upper income occupants. As the process of ghettofication occurred this housing was increasingly occupied by lower income people. The ensuing disinvestment caused a spiral of decline in this former neighborhood of gentry as mansions were subdivided into several apartments with impoverished tenants. As ghettofication increased the houses were not maintained and blight engulfed the neighborhood.
