An abstract conceptual illustration showing the intersection of culture, history, and crime. On one side, depict historical elements like colonial ships, slavery chains, and redlined urban maps. On the other side, modern scenes of poverty, urban decay, and people behind bars. Blend these elements through a timeline that symbolizes generational impact. Use muted, symbolic colors (earth tones, greys, deep reds) with a serious, academic tone. Ideal for a social justice or criminology blog post.
