In US this is more a sign of lack of equality, economic comfort and equal social rights leading to criminal behaviour rather than just down right oppression as in say Turkey for instance.

lack of equality, economic comfort and equal social rights

sorry, but what the fuck are those if not down right oppression?

it's oppression-lite.

Maybe tactical oppression or indirect oppression, I don't know? Down right oppression is...well quite direct. You don't spend years carving out a socio economic class for a certain group which forces them to remain in the lower rungs of society, eventually leading to higher likelihood of criminal behaviour. You incriminate and imprison them directly.
