Racial Disparities in Arrests: A Race Specific Model Explaining Arrest Rates Across Black and White Young Adults
Tóm tắt
Three theories attempt to explain the racial disparities in arrest
between White and Black Americans: Differential Involvement Hypothesis, Differential
Selection and Processing Hypothesis, and Social Disorganization Theory. We tested
these hypotheses simultaneously in a multiple-group longitudinal panel model with
the ADD Health dataset (Black n = 2459, Whiten = 7403). After controlling for contextual
and behavioral factors, we still found Black young adults were arrested seven times
more often than their White counterparts. To maintain cultural competence, it is
imperative for clinicians to be aware of these disparities when working with
families of different races in order to adjust treatment accordingly, but advocacy
for greater systemic change may be more important for some communities than therapy
alone.
